at least here they give you 30 days and the benefit of the doubt...if they are in a good mood and you really look surprised when they tell you. 
got mine registered 3 days ago finally....lol...only had like 300 miles on it before then.

Much better that you noticed it in your driveway rather than along side the road with johnny law on your ****. I'd say you win!
I put on my new sticker last night. Old one expired the last day of March! Dam good thing, too, because I got trailed by the lawman for about 5miles right after I put it on. He was just looking for a reason...

Tough break Steve! Know just how you feel mate . A couple of months ago was going out for a night ride , got kitted up , sat on the bike started her up and POP! the f*cking headlight blew! So no night ride for me
Now this was in the days before I knew both sides of the headlight should light up (thanks for the heads-up guys) so I didn't realise I was on the last bulb and borrowed time . Rode round the block on main beam 'cos I was in denial , but thought better of it 'cos old mister plod would of had me for sure
At least she aint sick mate , but I must admit the temptation would be too much for me.

Opportunity knocks
Steve, opportunity knocks. Get the grand kids to clean the garage while you drink a Jimmy Black and tell them it is character building for when they grow up. Tell the misses that you prefer to be with her this weekend instead of riding and you score big time brother (don't let her know it is because of the registration or lack there of). You just have to turn this lack of memory into a good thing and have the neighbor kick your **** since you can't reach behind you.....
P.S. When I lived in California, we could register the bikes on-line anytime of day and the registration was good from that minute on for a year.

Yep, we can register online here in PA, too. Just pay the $18 with a CC and print out a temp registration card. Good to go!
+1 on the idea to tell the wife you chose her over the bike for the day. That's a good idea!

I could have pleaded the "om freakin old, go pick on someone with a bloody memory" argument to them

3 grandkids ages 5&6
Steve, I always get the neighbors to help in that situation. Tell the grandkids that it is Trick or Treat time and send them to the neighbors. Before they go, give them a squirt gun and tell them that if the neighbors don't give them candy to squirt the neighbor in the face with the squirt gun. I think I might have a sick sense of what is fun when it comes to neighbors!!!
When I was a young kid (XXX BC), the neighbor had a dragster racer (his name was Frank Bradley). That thing was loud. His neighbor always called the cops on him when he started it up (vibrated the whole neighborhood not just the windows!). Well, he taught me how to get the neighbor's help. He gave me some cherry bombs with extra long fuses attached. Had me place them all over her yard and front porch. I lit them and ran. Then he started his dragster up. When she stepped out to yell at him, she pissed her pants! He also had me tie (tape) cherry bombs on to arrows. I would shoot the arrows into her backyard after he lit them. See? Get the neighor to help!
Get that old Snail lady next door to help keep the kids busy. Have the kids collect snails and go next door to her and ask her if she wants to buy the snails. When she says, "No" make sure the kids know that it is ok to let the little buggers go in her yard and tell her that is where they found them. Then you pay them a nickle a snail that they let go in her yard. Keeps them busy and gives you some fun to drink Jimmy Black by...
