Took the deuce out for a fund raiser for one of our vets who was wounded last year. Big turnout for a small town. Ross, 2buells, brought his new to him xm813 as well. Good time and the guest of honor climbed up in my deuce to play with the 50. Didn't get a pic though.

Dale Wiliams here, also from Mo. Recently my local vehicle inspection station told me they had a guy with a duece that came for an inspection, which they did. He went to the DMV and got his plates. Next thing ya know, the MO State Patrol shows up at the inspection station, saying they were in violation for inspecting that vehicle, and fined them $600. Then the customer had to give up his plates, and the Highway Patrol said that these vehicles could not be licensed in Mo. because they were never meant to be driven on our highways. I just assumed that you couldn't license a duece, but it appears from your pix that it is possible?
Yes.
My 932 is also plated as an historic vehicle. I will be re-plating the deuce as historic when the regular registration is up since its much cheaper and I won't be putting a lot of miles on it.
Historic vehicles only need a verification inspection and once licensed your done (must be 25yrs old at least). The local law all know my vehicles because I drive them frequently in town. Not one issue. They even followed me home once to check out my truck.
You should of seen the looks I got when I had the 50 mounted and drove through town. They really looked me over but left me alone. It does have an orange cap on the end of the barrel to meet federal regs.

Thanks! I think the bobbed dueces are awesome, but I kinda gave up on owning one because I was mis-informed. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Try this, the State has backed off that position, and I am in the process of changing to the new paperwork. The Inspection station should be able to contest the fine also.
