Taken from Ausdragbike site
"Heard from a guy who has some transport buddies that told him not to get a full system as the police were going to be doing a blitz
& the sting was for no cat in the system.
Any other states got this going on ?
Got an email form a mate who just got a new Apriia & just put his system on when he got this info off the Aprilia Forum
A guy from the Aprilia Forum had a conversation with a copper recently and he disclosed this:-
They have been issued with meters to detect exhaust gases that indicate that the cat has been removed.
Bike in instantly unroadworthy plates and rego sticker removed, you must get the bike trailered home get the RWC done and get the bike re-registered.
Oh there is also a $600 fine and four points
Get caught three times and it is bye bye bike under the anti hoon laws.
This shameless cash grab was proposed some time ago but rejected by the Bligh gov.
Another study was done indicating that 1 in 3 bikes had an aftermarket exhaust with the cat removed and the study showed that the revenue raised could be as high as $200mil.
Think about how many business may suffer as well in sales, tuning etc.
why dont they just piss off http://dragbike.com.au/forum/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif"
Long live the old skool bikes
