I am thinking of starting down in SC someplace and go North to VA.

 

[Scottd9990]

We could take the trail up and come back (not sure we can) on the parkway??

 

[Scottd9990]

We could do this too:

This idea sounds like the best for a beginner like me, I've never been on long trail rides before.

I have done them on a dual sport motorcycle. Not in MV but should be fun anyway. Its the Adventure that I love.

Can't wait to hear back from ya on the price.

 

[Scottd9990]

Ok, will let you guys know. Thinking will tag for 18k lbs.

 

[TruckGuy]

I tagged my Deuce for 17K lbs. = Total was around $230

 

[Scottd9990]

Thanks TruckGuy! That is not to bad. Looks like i am going Monday. I have SC Title, what will I need for inspection in NC??

 

[Scottd9990]

I was guessing around $300.00

Two parts to that answer...

1. Must have older vehicles inspected when title is from another state.

Easy. Fill out the form. You will also need proof of insurance and Drivers License. You can take the truck to them or request they come to you. I had them come to me. Never even saw the guy, he came by while I was at work. The person at the tag place will tell you this must be done in 15 days. After calling the guys that actually take care it this... they don't really care if it's longer than 15. In fact, I was just told if I didn't have it done by the next year I would not be able to renew the tag.

They will give you a copy of the form. But here it is...

2. Vehicles in NC over 35 years old do not require yearly inspection. My Deuce was made in '71, I renewed my tag a couple months back... no inspection.

 

[Scottd9990]

Mine is a 1981. Thanks for the info.

 

[TruckGuy]

No problem.
Is that the original manufacture date or the rebuild date? Mine was last rebuilt in '84 I think. But, it was built in '71. Should have the year code in the frame number I believe.

 

[Scottd9990]

Title says 81 but dash says it was rebuilt in 89. Truck is in really good shape. Everything works as it should. I got lucky!!!

 

[TruckGuy]

Cool. Nice that it's in good shape. Maybe we'll get together sometime. Wouldn't mind getting a closer look at a M109.

 

[Scottd9990]

Sure, we are close. Come tomorrow if you like. Will pm my location.
