There is a guy from Bedford Tx (Blade) selling his '99 Standard in the classified and on his list of "extras" he say his tags are good for 3 yrs.
Anyone know what tags he's talking about?
Only tags I know required here in Tx is the license tags and mine come due every year. Or am I missing something here? (it is Monday morning)
I know for the past few yrs when you buy a new car the State inspection is good for 2 yrs (or at least it was on the last new car I bought, which has been a few yrs ago, they may go longer now).

I have my Valk with a 3 year tag but I seem to remember that if you transfer the title, the extra tag time doesn't transfer and is lost by the seller. I would not pay the seller extra for the 3 year tag for that reason.
The caution note was when I renewed the license plate if I remember correctly.

Hmmm...
Well I'll be darned!! I never knew that.
Is there a benefit, besides not having to run to the tax office every year?
Like a discount maybe?

There is no discount, but saves the hassle of forgetting and riding around with expired plates because I can't get to the tag office. I paid for 5 years, because I am keeping the bike for ever. And, the license plate fee is never going to go "down".  Hay  Jimmyt |

And, the license plate fee is never going to go "down". Hay Jimmyt Good point. But, knowing me, if I forget after one year (and I have) I know I'll forget after 5, or 3, or... And I can see if it's a hassle to get them. In my little world I go to the tax office for these on Friday mornings since I'm off. Usually I go in (9-9:30ish) and 5 minutes later walking out with the tags. But if this routine ever changes (I hate waiting in lines) I'm glad to know there is an option. |

In my situation, I work 20 miles from the tax office in my county and work days. So, I do everything I can either on the internet or by mail. Man, having Fridays off must be really nice......................unless you have everyday off...  Hay Jimmyt |

Don't have everyday off yet, few years till retirement still, however keeping my hopes up the LOTTO will work out for me!! You never know right??!!?? You'd think having 3 day W/Es I'd be caught up on stuff at home (honey dos) and be able to ride somewhere every W/E, rite? Not so with me! Seems like I got more crap to do than ever... and gotta take my rides whenever I can sqeeze out a couple of hours! But again got my fingers crossed for that LOTTO thing... |

I know I'm frequently amazed at how much more time I had to do other stuff before I retired. Now, it seems, I frequently don't have time.
Working made me a much better time manager. But now, retired, I'm having a better time. Good trade off!
