Yup... they expired 12/31. I think I got my renewal notice in Oct.

[Jaynnus]

Yup....went to the Registry on Friday, all set for another year!! Bring on the sun

You can still register online you just have to pay extra since you missed the date.

I did it last year, I had to pay an extra $20 or something.

Did you cancel your insurance ? If so I dont think the Registry sends a renewal automatically .

The registry does not have to send you a renewal notice. They only do it as a courtesy so ultimately you have to remember. They sent my reminder in November.

I got my renewal back in Sept/Oct and every year I renew online. There are no additional fees at all for not doing it prior to the end of the year. The charge is $20/25 (can't remember) and I always do it the day I plan to ride. You just need to print the receipt the registry sends you back via email...then you will be legal even without the sticker.

I am gonna go through my paperwork sho box and see if I can find it. I know I did my trailer. I will have to look again.

I was trying to be nice the first time , but maybe the Registry just doesn't like you Hillbilly...

i just realized this last night.. registration expired. i don't understand why motorcycle registrations expire at the end of the year, unlike a car's regsitration that lasts an entire year. so if someone registers their bike in august, they have to pay the same reg fee as someone who registers in january?

also, i just renewed online. anyone know the turn around time?

What the fuck does it matter when it expires? A year is a year!

[bump909]

that's what i'm saying! for some reason MA is lame like that. i registered in May and it expired in Dec.

[KB]

yeah you get fucked the first year if you register late in the year but doesn't mass only charge you for the months you use??

KB

[bump909]

ah, that would make sense since last year was the first year.

[sanfelice]

After October, the yearly fee goes from $25 to $20 or maybe $15. whoopdeefreakindoo~ what a savings.

I didn't re-register my bike in December since I'm still working on it, but I kept the insurance (mostly for comprehensive, obviously).
