Mine Expired 2007
My Bike Tag expired in August 2007 before I left LA, I made a straight line to the Mexician border and are currently now down in Puntas Arenas , Chile.
I,ve stored my bike three times down here, once on Bolivia and twice in Argentina.
One time I crossed from Buenos Aires into Uruguay the day before my 8 months allowed was up.
I haven,t even had a single person ask or even look for at my registration lience tag.
I scratched out the year long time ago on my number plate.

I wish there was a way I could buy every one on this site a bottle of  ! I was able to renew my registration online in Florida and they are even mailing it to me here in Michigan. Looks like I'll be ready to cross over into Urugray in April without worry. Thanks you guys!!!

Thanks to the post shown above I was able to order my Florida tags online and have them mailed to me out of state. Heres the link:

You need to renew in the state where it's registered. Google Washington State Department of Licensing (or something very similar) and find out how to do it on line with a credit card. You'll need to have the tags mailed to the address where it's registered, then get them forwarded to you.
Otherwise you can presumably re-register the bike in Florida when you arrive in Miami. Same deal, but more fraught: Google the appropriate information about how to register it as a Florida bike. This is different from state to state, and in some states it's impossible as a non-US resident, but Florida is reported easy. A search on this website should find posts from people who've done it.
Hope that helps.
