Hummingbird Posted August 30, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2010 Today I was preparing to go to Tennessee to get Monty's trailer and I noticed that the tag on my Venture had expired LAST JANUARY I've been to Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and of course Ohio this summer so far. Fortunately my riding habits didn't draw the attention of the Police in any of those states or I may right now. After a lot of scurrying around I managed to get a valid sticker and get it on the bike. To some it's not really a big deal, however, had I been involved in an accident, regardless who's fault, it would have been my fault because I was illegally operating a vehicle on public roads. All sorts of things come to mind and NONE of them were of a good nature. guess I'd better start paying attention to more than riding and tire pressure.

Freebird Posted August 30, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2010 You aren't the only one. I DID buy mine but never got around to putting it on. Not that it's a big deal because due to various issues, I've hardly got to ride this summer. We did get in a 250 mile ride last Sunday though and then just a couple of days ago, I was going through my drawer and found my registration sticker there still in the envelope. Still haven't put it on but will try to remember before I ride again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted August 30, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2010 Yah mean it don't do any good to have the registration and current tab stickers in your desk drawer... Glad you reminded me.... I know Rocket... you don't need current tags if the scoot never gets off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW47 Posted August 30, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 30, 2010 Years ago a friend of mine rode for six months with his tag in a saddle bag. We rode in front of the police alot and he findly got stopped and was told to put it on the bike. He wanted to see how long he could ride before someone stopped him. tew47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted August 31, 2010 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2010 ALL of my tags come up in August, except for the big trailer, so's I always wait till the last moment to go get them......... That way I know I gotta put them on or face the wrath of the wif if she gets caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted August 31, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2010 They make it simple here...tags are due on your birthday. You can get them for one or two years...depending if they need "drive Clean" inspection or not upon renewal. Years ago bike's didn't have "tags" at all....you got a lifetime plate...same as trailers are for us now. But now bikes are treated the same as cars....HMMMM That raises a question....do bikes in Ontario have to get "Drive Clean"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see here---Ohio sends them out by mail with a return envelope---you should know when your B-day is. Guess all you can chalk it up to is :sign brain fart: But in your defense--you don't need plates on the bike in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ediddy Posted August 31, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 31, 2010 I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I renewed my registration in july. Sunday I was cleaning my room and I looked under a bunch of magazines and there was my sticker. I put it on my bike this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted August 31, 2010 Share #15 Posted August 31, 2010 I got collector plates for my bike just so that I never have to worry about stickers ever again. Collector plates are forever. Or at least another 18 years till it qualifies for Antique plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
