Super Tenere Renewal Fees California

[Sierra1]

California is a GREAT place to visit, and I would LOVE to live there; can't afford it. Your weather is usually great, and as long as I stay out of the cities, the roads are too. ::001::

From my perspective, things cost more now than they used to. So my initial take is no different than everyone else's.

But when the tax man, property or plates, comes, you probably have 2 more to pay for than last year!

I live here in the empire of California and I have five vehicles that have to be registered, my wallet is in great pain. I hate this place, can not get the wife to move. Maybe they will start taxing quilting and we will be out of here in a heartbeat.

Actually, what drives me crazy are the utility trailers and vehicles that relatives are driving that I'm title holder. 5 trailers. I use 1 of them primarily. It's just my fave. But each trailer fits specific jobs and folks are always borrowing. So I keep them up to date.
If they'd just let me register everything at the same time!
However, I've been doing business in the same dmv office for 20 years. I know the ladies. And some of them have been there a long time and know my whole life, from a dmv viewpoint.

I feel you. I've got four cars and just one motorcycle. Used to have two or three bikes. Paying for registration every year and for smog every other year should feed four or five families of Mexicans for at least six months.

The way to to think of it is like this, there will always be someone else that is far worse off than you. I know in a world of 'me' that sometimes is hard to process, but once you do that, things will feel easier to accept, not saying that it is right, but unless you are extremely wealthy and or powerful there is not a great deal you can do about. I do make light of it, but what else should one do if you are not able to effect a change?

Yeah, I've heard that people of Haiti are far worse off than most.
But those are just words that are supposed to turn one into a humble human being., to bring some relief/ comfort to the mind.
Next step I must take is to try to silence my mind and reach nirvana in the process!

What a scam, they make you pay for all the vehicles you own? I would rebel, throw the remote at the TV or call congress and make a complaint. Apathy is the friend of these people. Don't let them get a way with charging you for something you bought and paid for conscientiously. 'insert sarcasm'
Does nobody see the irony? You have 4/5 vehicles and complain about having to pay for registration every year!! While it may feed 10 Mexican families for a year, perhaps the simplest solution is to not have that many vehicles?
I don't know, maybe I just work on another level in terms of logic, and not having the luxury of a herd of vehicles makes me unable to relate...... ::017::
First world problems I guess?

It's a property tax essentially and that part is deductible on your tax return. Hold on tight though as it's going to get worse. Governor Moonbeam, without voter approval, pushed through both a gas tax increase of 12 cents a gallon as well as an increase on the vehicle registration tax that will amount to $25 to $175 depending on the value of the vehicle. The gas tax kicks in tomorrow (Nov 1) Purportedly to fix roads, but most think it's really a ploy to pay for his crazy pet high speed train project. Not sure when the registration fee takes effect.

And most likely counties will increase their gas tax, to coincide.

DogDaze,

AGAIN, you generated a big grin on my face.

I hope any of my posts regarding this subject still leaves room for supporting your way of viewing these things.

Lots of room left for you Snake ::008:: I'm not trying to pee on one's problems, but sometimes..... you just got to step back from the brink, we all get a bug about something sometime and trying to be humble is easier said than done. But practice makes perfect, not a sign of weakness, a sign greatness as a human. I am soooo far from that, boy, do I have to practice ::010::

I've met a few folks from other states that say yeah, California is expensive but it's worth every penny. So on the plus side the state does have a lot to offer and those of us who've mostly grown up here we tend to take a lot for granted. For those that have never lived/visited here they cannot appreciate the up side.

People always think the grass is greener on the other side. There are good reasons why California is the most populated state and by far has the largest GDP/economy. It has much to offer not found elsewhere and is a very well rounded package.

my 2016 is due end of January. Total of $195. Vehicle license tax is $184 which is tax deductible. Registration fee is $9.25. Air quality $1.50. Postage and handling $0.49. They will email me and I just click on the link and pay it. We don't have any inspections including smog. It will decrease very year. My 2012 Goldwing was $210 last year.

Snakebitten, That sucks about your trailers. I have 5 of them laying around including the 2013 Aluma MC210 I just picked up yesterday for a steal. Paid $16.00 for new plate, title, and permanent tags through a third party company. Cheaper if I waited in line at MVD. All of my trailers have permanent tags that don't ever need to be renewed.

The pruning shears are out of the shed.
There are other places to go off onto a political rant.

Thank you! Much appreciated. That is the reason I come to this forum instead of Advrider and the like.
Although my last post was neither political or a rant so not sure why it got nuked instead of just pruning the quote. It was about motorcycles and motorcycle riding opportunities in the state.

Basically because hitting delete takes less of my time than modifying.


Cali is indeed motorcycle nirvana.

That sir... is very hard to argue. Definitely one thing I miss.

I always called it an "embarrassment of riches" when it came to motorcycling roads. I still get back to the state for the dunes as well, but I don't regret leaving at all.

And a social asylum first and foremost.
