What do people think about off road bikes needing registrations? |
I've seen an article http://www.motorbike-news.co.uk/latest-n... about making off road bikes be registered and wondered what you thought? I bought my son a mini moto last Christmas and a midi for this and would welcome be legal and proper off road as long as the RMIF factor in kids are riding these bikes. off roaders, minis and midis should NOT have to be registered. if the rider in question is under the age of 16 then a full bike license holder should be supervising at all times. problem is there is nowhere to ride these things. i even get bollocked riding around at bike rallies. my local go karting for fun tried having one night a month specially for minimotos but my 8 year old son wasn't allowed to go on it as he wasn't tall enough! ! ! ! ! just another way for them to keep tabs on you, will it end up costing you?? big brother is watching you. grrrrr.... its fine that they have a # to track but we should not have to pay to reg. we pay enough to the damn state as it is! ours had tripled in the past few years here in maine to reg our off road toys! i will not pay to ride in my own yard! It's not to keep tabs on people; it's to generate income for the state. i totally agree thy should all be registered as the kids riding them make my and all the people who live near me lives a misery thy come to the grass playing field that is at the back of my council house driving up and down messing all the grass up shouting swearing riding after cats&dogs in genral making our life a missary.thay dont live in the area if you ask them to stop thay just give us abuse,im all for having a bit of fun but someone is going to gei hurt either a rider or just someone who is just walking a dog have called the police but thay are too slow and never catch them The only good reason I can think of is to know who has the bikes in case there is a recall. If, for instance, a gas tank has a defect you definately need to know for safety's sake. Another would be to help ID the bike if it is stolen. Otherwise, I can't imagine why it is necessary. There is no good reason for this other than income for the state, and I don't consider that good reason.This is pure extortion. I don't know why I am even required to register my car. I can write down the serial number myself for free and provide it to the police when/if it鈥檚 stolen. My insurance also keeps a record of the numbers. Why not make registration voluntary. The added value is zero to you the tax payer. |
