I had one but couldn't justify the expense, risks and standing costs.

Just put your boot over the rego plate at the rear while passing through a gantry.
Nothing wrong with stretching your legs after a long ride

Some of you guys must be double jointed or something, no way I could get my foot over my plate easily.

about time...it's a tolled road and if everyone else has to pay to use it then so should motorcycle riders.

Good, they should pay, why should they be exempt?
On the point of Tolls, I own a PK Ranger and as such I pay more to use the Toll-ways than 'passenger cars' apparently it is a light truck - ****ers!!!!! How did this Americanism sneak into our lives?

All M/C's are tolled on toll roads in sydney, however they do have a cashback scheme on the M5 motorway. They've just recently introduced an e-rider scheme which provides unlimited travel on the harbour bridge and tunnel for a quarterly fee of $90.00.

Don't understand why motorbikes haven't had to pay for all this time, it's. User pays system, they use it, they pay for it, pretty simple...

Yeah im a rider and I dont see any reason for bikes to be exempt, other than if you encourage more bikes on the road theb thats less congestion.
Whats the price difference between cars and bikes?
