License plate

[Cavman]

Well, I finally got the title to my Spyder today. So, I went up to the tag office to get the tag for the bike. I asked the lady if there a chance that there would be a "Y" in the number. She said there were two!
My plate starts with 'YM'. Is that cool or what? It's a Y Motorcycle. :yes:

The other lady said that it may take a while on getting the title processed because they have to figure out what a Can-Am Spyder is? She had problems with the VIN number on her computer cause it's an "unknown thing"? :spyder: Too funny!

It took me nearly 3 months to get mine. First they said there was a personnel shortage in Atlanta but the final story was they couldn't figure out what the Spyder was. Good thing was the title says it is a motorcycle - bad news was the ad valorum taxes ($265).

Since I purchased this through a dealer that was doing it on consignment and it was used, I didn't have to pay any sales tax. I got it NC.

I'm guessing that you are a submariner? You are located in Kingsland, GA and I think that looks like a Navy Sub Emblem on your post?
If so, thanks for serving.

When I went to register men they didn't know what it was either (strange, since they had been out 5 years and there are about 80+ in town). She had to go have a supervisor add the make and model to the computer.

I was just disappointed that the personal plate I wanted "ARRRRR" was taken.
Maybe I should try for PYR8 or TRYPOD

Hey Arrr, I am thinking about a trip by Spyder in June to Las Vegas, I know it gets hot but based on you experience, what part of the month would be best? I went to Reno last year in early June and it was rainy and cold. The year before I hit Reno in June and it was 100 and sunny lol...I am guessing early June works better for Vegas?

Thanks

Yeah. Early June is best. -Should- be past the winter cold, rains and wind by then, but before the bad heat. Our local SRA chapter does a ride the first Saturday of every month. Come join us!

My Michigan tag was Y Y Y. Nevada considers the Spyder a motorcycle since it has only one drive wheel. It therefore requires the operator to have a motorcycle license. They do not require traditional trikes riders to have a motorcycle endorsement (2 rear drive wheels) or to wear a helmet.

I love my vanity plate, no problem with the registration. Seem to recall it took about 3 months to make.
