Well if he has not had rego for 2 years he will need to pay back fees unless it has been on hold.
the license part is a different matter. I assume he had a licence so it would mean his has expired so he has no licence to drive.

I say keep the money, buy some new shoes and a dress as a present to yourself, ditch him and find someone that can sort their shit out.

it wouldn't be the first time

No, the whole country will be paying for that.

Fark!

Can I pay less ACC if I wear an inflatable sumo suit everytime I ride my bike? My very own air bags, no less...

ok, my bike is already registered, it's a 250cc.
My rego expires in 3 months, how much would it be to get a new rego?

Deleted...read post wrong

WOF part makes sense, cause your bike needs to be up to standards for safety. Reg has nothing to do with safety of the bike, has it? It's just a tax we pay for a privelage to ride on the road.

As for fines, Reg is over $500 for big bikes, fines for getting cought is only $400. If you ride sensibly, then you less likely to attract attention and get cought. You work out if it is worth the risk for you and which is cheaper.

Don't forget that parking wardens can issue tickets (but without demerits) for no WOF and rego. So you could ride like an angel and never be stopped by plod but pick up a big fine if a warden spots WOF and/or rego are out while you're in the shop buying a pie...

Certainly I would avoid having them expired if you park on road in Auckland CBD as they are pretty sharp-eyed on that stuff. ($200 for expired WOF: I forgot = my fault.) I'm sure they are also on the lookout elsewhere.

Hmm, if he's had no rego for two years, and the plates aren't on hold, then good luck with that as 12 months after the registration expires the plates are removed from service and no longer able to be re-registered.
But the registered owner will still have the outstanding fees due. So even if you re-plate, he will still owe back-dated rego fees.

Dead plates is a whole bunch of hoops to go through as you have to put the bike through a full re-certification - the same process all new bikes/cars go through when they are imported into the country and the cert guys are not easy!
They look at all sorts of weird stuff, and you then still need to get a WOF/REG after the Cert.
The last certification we went through, we swore never again as it was near on $1000 and they picked on stupid stuff that had to be done. And then after certing, it still failed the WOF as the cert guys don't check WOF requirements

Ouch, there's good advice right at the end there....

I had a funny feeling it was going to be expensive I thought with the tyres (both) and break plus rego/warrent but I didn't know any of the other things I thought it would all come up to about $1,000 which I have ready to give to him looks like it will cost more.He'll be paying me back but gradully but it's just I can get the bike on the road quicker

I should add, that the recert fee was nearly $1000.
That wasn't including the WOF cost and the Registration cost.

He might really want to think about whether a new bike might be cheaper and sell that for parts LOL

Gosh reading all these posts it's shocking me more what thecharmed01 just wrote then you perhapes I should surgest to him what you just said to do but he'd never sell his motorbike.I mean it's starting to sound like it's going to cost me $2,000 to start off with apprantly his front tyre and back one is just over $200 and the other one just over $300 battery didn't cost much spose the break would be the cheapest new thing that has to be to put on the bike.

Of course you can tell I havn't got a bike yet but when I do everything will be current all the time.I have to thank everyone who has given me this information in the posts they have written it has been extremly helpful for me i'm actually thinking perhapes i'll just buy the tyres now and he can suss out the rest.

Keeping things current (I always feel) does keep things cheaper in the long run, but then there are other things you can do which can help.

I mean, not having a current reg & wof will make you susceptible to being fined and get demerits should you get pulled over/park it on the road.
But if you know you aren't going to bother to register it, it's free to put the plates on hold, which at the least stops them going dead and stops it costing you in backdated rego charges.

We've had one car here (project) on hold for about 17 years now hehe.
Boy person just fills out the form every 12 months, they send a reminder letter when it's due again.
Never costs a cent, and IF (I'm not convinced he will ever finish it haha) he ever gets it roadworthy, then he has to wait till the 'hold' period runs out, but he can simply get a WOF and then go in and register it from scratch.
You can put them on hold for 3, 6 or 12 months from memory.

My show car is on hold for 3 months at a time as I only have it legal over summer cause I won't drive it in the rain as I refuse to register it when I'm not going to drive it
