2. I bought a Vintage Harley-Davidson from the Trading Post but wasn't rego'd.
I went to Vicroads and registered it, then about 3 months later I sold it to a mate.
Then a week later I had 2 giant gorilla bikers turn up at my door from South Australia demanding their stolen bike back (Vicroads system must be connected to S.A. system).
I told them I had sold it and where to find it.
The minute they were out the door I rang my mate and told him to ride it around here very fast and why. He did.
We then took a quick trip to Melbourne to buy another left-side engine case for it (the part with the engine number on it).
Spent the night stripping the bike down, replacing the engine case, then he rode it home.
Several days later the gorilla's found him (they were certainly persistant) and checked the bike. "Hmmmm . . . wrong engine number" so they left and were never heard from again.

Sometimes though, you can make the system work to your advantage.
Havent had a chance to test this out in recent years due to being a good driver........ but in NSW it used as follows
If you get a traffic fine with demerit points, and you were close to your limit of demerit points, you could postpone the impending doom by just delaying paying the fine.
Demerit points are not deducted from your license until payment (ie guilt) is made. You could quite easily delay your demerit point for nearly 6 months as the werent backdated.
Day 0 = Fine
Day 30-40 = 1st RTA remimder
Day 60-80 = 2nd RTA reminder
Day 90-100 = Office of State Debt Recovery notification
Day 120-150=Payment to SDO
Day 150-180=Demerit points taken after SDO notifies RTA.
The timeline might have changed in recent years, but you should still easily get 3 months grace.

Yeah, probably are, Greg
and they have Harley powered GoTo Biker mounts. They push the object into the hand pad (NGC 253 etc) and a gravelly voice from the hand pad says to the mount "Hey, Wake up! Go To NGC 253 . . .NOW!"
so they left and were never heard from again.
