In my state I have to take the quad to the DMV, get one of the fsuckin dipshits behind the counter to come out to my truck to inspect it for a VIN#. Then they ask if I could "just remove the powdercoat" and then I have to explain to them that I spent $150 on the powder, $50 to sand blast it prior to powder, and to remove it I'd have to have it burned off with a torch and re sand blasted which would set me back another $130 or so.
After that they go back inside, issue me a vin tag, then I have to rivet it to the frame and go back for another VIN inspection.
Also in my state, they were going to hit me $75 to register my bike with a new frame because it was from a 2000, so the value follows that.
Then I mentioned I bought it on line, and the fee dropped to $5.00
Yeah...five fsuckin dollars because I bought it online.
