Re Registering a classic motorbike.

Hi there,

Im new here to get some guidance on how to proceed with re registering a 1971 cb350.

I have no owner papers or anything stating it has been on NZ roads before. I do have a black plate. I have taken it to vtnz and the told me they cannot find this plate or frame number in their system as it doesn't go back enough. They advised me to call nzta and ask them to find it on their system. I called them and they told me their system only goes back to 1993. The last rego sticker on the plate says 1985.

So i dont know what to do. How do i proceed to getting it on the road? Will i have to get it registered as a new bike? Even thought it isnt?

I thank anyone in advance for replying to my message!

Here is a picture of the bike.

'71 Triumph engine work - recommendations in Otago area?

My T100c engine needs a freshen up. Compression is low and performance is down. It runs okay but lacks the punch it should have.

Anyone got any recommendations for old Triumph engine work around Central Otago? Hopefully just a rebore to +20, maybe a crank grind while I'm in there. I'm going to pull the motor out anyway to paint the frame etc.

Also need some welding done on a 500 head that has cracked around the inlet valve ports. It'll need to have the seats recut so I want someone who knows what they're doing and has the right gear.

I know I can ship it away but I'd rather meet the person doing the work.

Vertical Custom Number Plate - Police Infringement

Do I have a leg to stand on, is it worth fighting? General consensus?

Please see attached picture. - I've blocked out letters for security

"Displayed other than authorised registration plate" $100 fine and 25 DEMERITS! - that's the annoying part, not too concerned about the price

The officer offered me no compliance, and wouldn't give me a chance to fix it. I still have the original plate and can change it back if needed (would prefer not to)

Its my understanding that this is a grey area - this plate is reflective and is pretty clear to me.

Any assistance/help would be appreciated ! any legal advisors?

Back Into It

Back on again, been a while since I rode, sold my last bike, a 06 CB1300, about 7 years ago, picked up a real tidy one owner 06 S83 Boulevard today. Decided to go the cruiser way as I broke my back just over a year ago. Looking forward to getting back in to it.
