Hi Admin guys. Does the club offer vintage rego and if so what is the process to get the ball rolling. I’m in Albury NSW but have vehicles registered in Vic as well. Cheers.
No .. we arnt a club as such Theres members here involved with the VJMC in NSW and @Joker has "Club250" in Victoria that does it https://vjmc.org.au/j30/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=159&Itemid=382 https://club250cc.wixsite.com/club250 https://www.facebook.com/club250cc/
if in nsw the club rego is cheaper here than in vic. must be in a historic club[vjmc- joining fee 45$- following year 40$ then rego costs 93$ in first year-THEN43$ following years]club examiner does a free historic rego declaration, take to rego office and pay, this conditional rego covers the green slip and club events plus 60 days personal use a year.can do an online club application and bank deposit.there is the info from the national vjmc treasurer.
I think u can be a member of any motoring club that does permits ... maybe see if these guys will do motorcycles or know of someone local that does for NSW http://www.awdcc.com.au/?page_id=1406
Classic italian motorcycle club of australia, C.I.M.A is a great club for historic rego. None of the ridiculous bean counting re originality that some of the clubs practice. You dont need an Italian bike and they will even allow you to do one car. I have heard of some car clubs that even expect paint colour to be original. Some folk really need to get out more
I am a member of AWDCC. I have a car and my gsf250 on NSW historic rego with them. They are no fuss at all. As long as the car passes the NSW roadworthy, then they are happy. You just need to join as a senior member ($95) and then pay an extra $20 for them to have the historic vehicle on their file. Well worth doing, especially as the logbook scheme in NSW is now permanent. Regards GJ74A
The VVMCC in SA does Historic registration but the motorcycle must remain standard (no modification's) Eligability- the vehicle has not been modified from its original design to any significant extent and meets Transport SA Code of Practice There are no detail's on their website for membership fee's, but you get up to 90 day's per year you can ride for your $90 There is also the VJMC in SA Membership subscription fee's for Australian Residents is $45.00 for the first year and AUD $40.00 a year from then on. Membership for an Australian Family is $55.00, then $50 a year from then on Registration cost's are the same as above I am not sure why the VVMC club does not allow any modification's to a HR (Historically Registered) vehicle, but in SA HR also cover's modified Street Rod and LHD vehicle's and we don't need to have it inspected for any modification's before it can be registered. If any mod's are done then it is up to the owner of the vehicle to make sure the car is safe to drive, chassis mod's, upgraded braking, and engine's bigger than standard may need to be inspected at owner's cost https://dpti.sa.gov.au/ 12 May 2017 The SA Government has approved changes to the current conditional registration scheme for historic, left hand drive and street rod vehicles. These changes aim to remove red tape to allow more classic car lovers to enjoy their hobby out on the road, while also making the scheme more nationally consistent. These changes will come into operation on 1 July 2017. The approved changes include the following: Allow vehicles, modified from their original design, to enter the scheme. This will provide flexibility to allow owners to improve the ride, handling and safety of these classic vehicles, as well as cosmetic enhancements. The registration scheme will no longer dictate the types of modifications permitted, merely remove this requirement altogether. Move away from a fixed cut-off date of 1979 to a rolling 30-year vehicle age for eligibility to enter the scheme; for both right hand and left hand drive vehicles. Make changes to the Code of Practice to decrease the necessity for motoring clubs to undertake vehicle inspections; reducing the administrative burden of the scheme. This will remove the need for both initial inspections upon scheme entry and all 3 yearly inspections. However, in all cases, there will remain the ability for the Registrar or motoring clubs to request vehicle inspections on an as-need basis. This will enable clubs to uphold their constitutional values. Remove the need for annual statutory declarations. Reduce limitations which ban left-hand drive vehicles with safety improvements, such as updated braking systems. This will allow modifications to LHD vehicles and will treat them the same as RHD vehicles currently on the road.
vjmc constitution states to preserve and restore but depends on modifications eg if no original mufflers available then aftermarket are suitable. i run pipemasters on my cbx supersport but have originals stored.the pipemasters howl at high revs.
also, now in the rules if your main historic vehicle is a jap bike the local branch can sign off on historic other vehicles if state rego allows.
