Chris has it right. If I renew for 3 months every year no need for an inspection, so I can move the registration period around over a few years. Never too cold to ride around Canberra any time of the year, it does not snow as much as places like the Blue Mountains
. I mean -10c is not that bad as long as ice and snow are not on the road.
Ice on the screen usually only happens out round Yass or Goulburn, as the bike is in the garage when I leave
so the fog and cold take a while to set in. Anyway, heated seat, grips and vest tend to take care of that
