Yeah we never registered our farm bikes and all we did was cross the road or just duck up the road. Altho we had two wheelers. We kept as left as possible or stayed on grass verge. Altho I will admit to doing a hell of a lot of burnouts on the gravel haha

I've never seen a cop pick on a farm bike for being unregistered, but they will ping you for not wearing an aghat or similar helmet if you are on the road.

If for farm use then do not need to register or even wear a helmet, as long as you stay under 30 kmh
I can't talk in detail here, but I understand the exempt a & b rego's have been changed. It now only covers pretty specific use which is probably not what you are doing. Have a look at the nzta website. Vaguely the vehicle doesn't have to have registration or license now for off road use. This includes crossing the road from one farm to another i.e. you have a defense if caught. It would be good if someone else can confirm.

thank you everyone Im still doing my homework on this one but got to read a bit of the nzta.govt.nz licence link and it seems if i was a member of the Sikh religion i wouldn't have a problem. sounds like a little bit of favoritism going on there! its a shame dairy farming wasn't classified as a religion because if it was id legally be able to throw my helmet away! lol

What the hell, how on earth can they get away with that! The govt. regs can be pretty crazy. I asked an indian bloke at work about the turbans, he said it isn't religious, its just to keep long hair tidy as sikhs can't cut their hair. I see plenty of women on bikes with long hair, they seem to be able to manage it fine!
