Save up to $220 on your motorcycle rego.

Hi all
I picked this up out of the Threaded Discussion and checked it out.
There is available at post shops and testing stations this handy wee form (MR27 photo attached). It is available so that you can choose to change the date at which your rego is due, I guess it was put in place to let you move renewal dates away from Christmas or the like.
I’ve talked to staff at the testing station and the way it works is you choose to register up to 15 months ahead of the present due date.
I’m suggesting that you do this before the 1st July when the new rates begin. If you do and you register out 15 months ahead into the new higher rating time you will save a lot of money. I guess the only downside is that if you sold the bike soon after doing it you would lose the benefit.
