Rego Inspection Woes

[mattyvas]

I might be mistaken but if the inspection has already started at one place it has to go back to the same place to be completed.

only if they have started the paperwork trail

Yep of course.
I was mentioning because of exactly that.
If the paper work has been started, you'll be stuck going back there.

All electronic now so could be a problem 
But nothing to lose buy going else were, and play dumb 
Done it before , though i am an expert at being dumb.
What are the Rta going to do ,nothing
 just make up bull shit wasn't covienient to go back to that guy due to work commitments you will think of something

So the degree of how orange light output is... is just.... what.....  opinion??   If a vehicle is gonna be cited for a defect....  ought there not be some criteria against which it must fail to measure up??  

And if there's a standard for the emitted light chromaticity, then devices exist to measure this  >>  Chroma Meter

I think its not orange enough.
I think its not supposed to start with the side stand down (despite the design regulations being quite clear about what condition(s) the motor can be started under).

Being defected for a defect is one thing.  Tail chop... loud exhaust...  integrated tail light... we all know the rules....  but since we're expected to run by the rules, then the vehicle inspecting agencies ought to bloody well know what the rules are too and apply them using some objective criteria not just poorly informed opinion!  

Grrrrr  

Absolutely. I was very frustrated when registering my bike here to be told "I don't reckon your blinkers are big enough" when I'd very carefully ensured they were compliant with the ADRs.  Separated by 300, bright enough to be seen from the required distance etc. the ADRs don't mention size, which is perfectly reasonable because its the intensity and beam pattern that matters, all indicators look like a point source from 50m.

If someone does want a minimum bloody size, then put it in the bloody ADRs, so we can use a ruler and not subjective assessment.

previously when they had the paper pad they could start writing it out

now with the computer they are more likely to write down details on a scrap of paper and then go in and
punch it in the computer

so the chance of them starting the papertrail is near SFA

I had my re-inspection yesterday and...passed!

But not without having to argue with the numb skulls. I was able to stay with the bike for the re-assessment, so was talking the guy through what I was doing to demonstrate the kickstand switch was working. I said "Ok, so the stand is down, the bike is in neutral, it will start" and he replied with a "No, it shouldn't". After a brief argument, I quoted the ADRs and got a "hmm, I guess the rules are different for these bikes". WTF

I'll be writing in a letter of complaint. Why are these blokes inspecting bikes if they don't know the first thing about them...

Thanks to those who offered to lend mirrors etc. I ended up borrowing a pair of mirrors and indicators from Wells, who it turns out lives just up the road from me. Every cloud has a silver lining - we're going to tee up some rides.

Good work mate.
Happy times!
