Bike rego's about to run out and I'm on going overseas for the next 2 months so no point in paying horrendous fees whilst I'm not there to use it. Anyway, is it possible to put it on Hold for less than 3 months!
Cheers.

Yes, exempt it for 3 months then change registered owner when you get back. Then you can relicense from that day forward.
Or simply ride without it being licensed. It doesn't affect your insurance.

Why would they change the registered owner!
They're only going overseas.

Yes three months is the minimum. You can re register before that timeframe but have to back-pay. after 3 months and starts from day of re-rego

Irony overload.

Yes. Unless you do the exemption then upon your return change the registered owner. Then it's not backdated when relicenced by the 'new' owner.

Your living up to your name if the bike is registered before the thee months is up it is then billed to the original owner for the period that it was unlicensed do younot understand continuous licensing

So prove me wrong then. I know you can't. So really I must just be the TradeMe know-more-than-splinter67.

More irony. The word you should have used was "you're" when accusing me of being an actual meathead.
I understand continuous licensing perfectly, but you certainly do not.

Oh so your the spelling police as well go back to general oh hang on they think your a know all as well
Once again, it's "you're. "Yeah, some people have real issues with being proven wrong and admitting it. We'll soon see if you're one of those. I know what my money is on.

You must relicense it before you use it. If you relicense your vehicle during the first three months of the exemption period (the minimum exemption period is three months), we'll backdate your new licence to the expiry date of your original licence, exemption or change in registered person ??

Nope. Ring them and ask and they'll set you straight. Then you could come back and admit you were wrong.

That's interesting meathead_timaru (and olsod2), but I'm not sure it's worth changing registered owner for though.
