Historic Club Registration
Another big plus for the Canberra District Ducati club is the ability to Historic Register for ACT and NSW your Italian (or other) bike with the club. So long as the bike is older than 30 years, you’re a valid member and the machine is period correct then it is eligible. Contact at historiccddc@gmail.com to find out more.
To be eligible for Historic Registration from the Canberra District Ducati Club, you need to attend four club meetings throughout the year and attend 4 club events. Paperwork for the Historic Club Registration is only processed at CDDC monthly meetings. So if you want your paperwork, please arrange to pick it up at a meeting.
ACT process
You need to have an ACT roadworthy inspection completed, then the bike needs to be sighted by the club registrar to ensure it meet the criteria for historic vehicle.
You then take the Inspection and club historic paperwork to the ACT Government shop front to establish historic registration. There is now no direct requirement for a historic numberplate. You will also need to purchase the ACT historic logbook through ACT Government shopfront.
The logbook needs to be completed in pen before every days use. The logbook needs to be authorised for use by the club registrar before you can use it.
You will need to get paperwork from the club to renew your registration yearly.
NSW process
You need to have a NSW roadworthy inspection completed, or the CDDC registrar can complete this in some circumstances. The bike needs to be sighted by the club registrar to ensure it meet the criteria for historic vehicle.
You then take the Inspection and club historic paperwork to the Service NSW shop front to establish historic registration.
The logbook needs to be completed in pen before every days use.
You will need to get paperwork from the club to renew your registration yearly.
Extra Information
For both ACT and NSW – If your CDDC Membership expires, the vehicle is NOT REGISTERED! You need to be a valid member to have valid registration.
There are 4 points that are required for your registration to be valid. If any of the below is not completed/ lapsed, then your vehicle is not registered and must not be used on the road.
- The CDDC is affiliated with the combine council (This is the club’s duty, and the CDDC Secretary and Registrar stay on top of this)
- Your CDDC membership is paid and valid ( this is on YOU to ensure you have valid membership)
- Your log book is completed before the trip you set off on. (In Pen, not pencil, before you start the trip. Every single day of use is one entry into the log)
- Your registration fees are paid.
There is also a new category for Historic ACT vehicles, which is for modified vehicles (think Harris framed TT2 etc). Contact the registrar directly if you need more details on this.
If you have a registration renewal coming up, please make sure you leave yourself enough time to see the club registrar at a CDDC meeting to get your renewal paperwork (and logbook signed). Registrars were also reminded to pass onto members that this is not cheap registration, this is club registration to assist people to enjoy their hobby, don’t abuse the system.
We are keen to see more bikes on historic registration with the CDDC and there are lots of exciting bikes coming of age, think 916, 748, Monster, belt Supersport etc.
