Could not wait to ditch my California plates when I got to Washington State. I didn't miss paying $157 a year for registration fees in CA. Ridiculous.
You've got that much to look forward too, anyway, unless you're military and can keep your WA tags.

Not in his case. That rule only applies to a California resident buying an out of state bike. If you are a resident of another state moving into CA then the mileage does not matter

Yep IB I used to live there in the 90s Left in 2002 We may have to get together once I get there if you're up for it. Leaving here in about a week.

I'm jealous, I don't miss all the bullshit laws but I miss San Diego County, the weather and the riding there is hard to beat, lots of cool folks that ride as well.
I got hit with the 7500 mile dinger on a bike I bought from Arizona with a broken speedo (even though I declared the speedo was broken and the actual mileage exceeded the mechanical abilities of the speedo). I rode around without plates for about a year and than sold the bike for parts after I got a letter from CA DMV that I had 30 days to get the vehicle out of the state. I got letters for 5 years saying that I needed to pay the registration on the bike! lol... I finally sent in a release of liability and they stopped wasting stamps.
