Spoke to VicRoads today about getting the Norton re-registered and was amazed to speak to a woman who convinced me not to go full rego, but to go for club reg. Now I'd not considered that before, because there were limitations, specifically you could only go on club sanctioned rides, but the new regs only limit the number of days you can ride in a year - to 90. You can even ride interstate, with the exception of WA, they demand a full registration to use their roads. This seems like a pretty good deal, rego drops from around $600 to $150, and all you have to do is keep a log book.
Well, that's not exactly all, you have to be a member of a VicRoads approved club. A couple of years back I was a member of the Norton Owners Club of Victoria, but never felt like I belonged there, so I don't think I'll go back there. I've made contact with a couple of other clubs including Hartwell who don't socialise at all, they only do race meets and would be very happy to have me join. Have a few more to investigate and if any other Vics know of any clubs worth investigating then let me know. I'm looking for clubs that are seriously into riding, not just clubhouse meetings, tall tales and tyre kicking. I'll go club reg on the Pantah too once the rebuild finishes (which will be some time after it starts!)
