    Renewal of Motor Vehicle Licence

    I just got the bike and car rego bill in the mail! $400 all up!

    Did a bit of math to work out just how much more expensive it is to do the 3/6month thing instead of 12.

    For the cage :
    12 months : $183.22 @ $15/month
    6 months : $ 95.39 @ $15.98/month
    3 months : $ 51.50 @ $17.16/month

    For the Bike :
    12 months : $224.28 @ $18.69/month
    6 months : $115.92 @ $19.32/month
    3 months : $ 61.76 @ $20.58/month

    So what do you do? 12, 6, or 3 months?

    it is expensive - but there is not much you can do in way of other options. I just take the hit as part of the cost of biking and forget about it.

    edit - Voted 6 monthly

    Split the two.....pay 6mths for the car and 12 for the bike, that way it wont happen again. Thought that would have been easy to work out?...

    Laziness dictates that I always go for 12 months for both. Who can be bothered doing a job twice if you can do it once?

    I never know if my shitter of a bike will pass the next warrant, so I always do only six months at the same time as the warrant.

    Once you have got a WOF register your bike for 12 months and then you don't have to worry about a new wof for a year.FTP

    Don't have the cashflow to afford 12 months rego at once. It is kinida like rego on the drip.

    For those of ya who "winter" ya bikes when its snowing out
    ONE way of saving rego costs is to put the rego on hold for 3 months-12 months --costs nothing saves ya registering the bike for those months.

    Of course the cynic in me says -suspend rego 6 months at a go -as long as the bike has current WOF if the 5 ohh pull ya over you've got a good chance of getting off with the -oops I forgot its suspended -then nip in and rego it trick
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Yeah but fish don't track you down and give you a ticket 3 months later
