• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I order my CAN AM Ryker Rally Edition from a company in Nashville,IL. Everything went well,till I got ready to put a license plate on it. See they didn't charge me Illinois taxes and I had to pay 6% KY. taxes on what it cost me. I had to pay $1004.00.
 
Some states have mutual agreements and in these cases the sales point can charge you their tax rate and it will be accepted in the neighboring state. North Carolina and Tennessee have this. But it's not universal, by any means. Taxes are just part of it.
 
That seems high for a ryker, 16725 is 1003.5 in tax at .06 percent. Did they charge you tax in both sates? or do you have a state and local tax?

I don't know why, but this still bothers me, the math just doesn't add up. Unless you paid additional taxes or bought a whole lot of stuff along with your bike (or paid wayyy too much), the taxes shouldn't be that high.

You got off lucky. I bought my Goldwing trike in 2014 in Oklahoma and had to come back to Texas and had to pay 8.5% sales tax. Cost me another $2500. Same thing with the trailer I bought. Could no license it until I paid any 8.5 % sales tax on that.
 
That's what I had to do when I bought a Vehicle from Wisconsin and registered it in Illinois. But I looked at it to as I didn't pay any fees that dealers like to charge to register the vehicle etc.

There not going to miss out on sales taxes that's for sure.
 
:banghead: That hurt!!!!:congrats: You have to pay the governor, no way around it!! Happy trails!!!!:ohyea:
 
Yes. Sales taxes from the state where you register it. Ours is about 10%.

Two things you can always be sure of. Death and taxes.
