NC. Deuce liscensing Aug. 09

Well theres been a fiew guys questioning the liscensing of the Deuce here in North Carolina. I got mine done last week. I took in my title which was from South Carolina and liscensed it as 'weighted' and bought tags for 20,000 lbs. that cost me $311.00, also the paperwork and notery, I left there $366.00 lighter. State farm is my insurer, and it was in the high $200's for six months. It actually went very smoothly. I was given a number to call for the NC. inspector to come out later and check Vin and such, at which point I'll get my NC.Title. I was told that I could at a later date increase the weight by paying the difference of what I have against the cost at a higher weight, so now that I have it at 20,000 I can go up to say 26,000 for somewhere like a hundered or so. I surely didnt expect it to go as well as it did. It was in Rockingham by the way.

Thats all good stuff to know. IIRC, i think the going rate to add weight to a tag is $10 per 1000 pounds, or at least that was what I think it was when I added to my truck.

I guess we all hate taxes death.... and DMV...! But should I ever be unfortunate to be pulled over I will certainly have had good faith in the liscensing and registering the Deuce, and likely drive off with no ticket You know..... when I had my Harley, my friends always asked why I was willing to pay such high meintenance and all the costs related to the Brand........To own one is a passion I would tell them, and if you play, you got'a pay........ Sort of the same thing in our MV passions
To tell you the truth, I dont see $366.00 as unreasonable for an output in this hobby, and if need be, I can haul or go anywhere I want without sweating being pulled over and screutanized over improperly or (fishy) methods with my tags.
