    Nice! I was scrolling through the forum and the avatar caught my eye. I was thinking "I don't recall posting that" :D

    I thought about the K at the end of the plate but only after my wife had already ordered it.

    Lostboy, $20 for plate/year extra for custom. I think plates are about $45 /yr total this bike.

    Last year I talked to a Canadian owner of a vintage Honda 750 when I was at Glacier Park. He was pleased his annual registrations and insurance was so low. If I remember he said it was around $400... I didn't have the heart to tell him mine was less than $100 for the same (and no inspection required for title or plates).

    I moved to Kansas from Oregon. I was outright shocked when my truck registration (plate and all) went from $7 per year to $325 per year (sticker and tax; plate was an extra $30).

    I think you misread. The $7 per year was in Oregon.
    There are some advantages to living here, but the cost of owning vehicles ain't one of them.

    I get it now.
    Dirk + Douglas = Forty Two
    42 lbs. of bacon.
    Backwards is 24 - 24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day - NOT a mere coincidence.
    Bourbon - you always have to have 2 or 4 shots . . .

    It really is connected to arriving at the right time just as it was predisposed to. . . .

    Clearly Dirk Gently was the inspiration for Gandalf.

    Might want to lay off the burbon for a while. ;)

    Also the TV Dirk Gently is a disappointment. Not the show, but the way he is portrayed. They gave all of his best character traits to that Spider Man fella.
