Perfect, thanks! Sounds like I won't have a problem with inspection or resale if I bring my bike with me. I appreciate all of the input.

 

Welcome to California!
You will love the taxes and vehicle registration costs!

 

 

I lived in Tax-achusetts for 25 years, so this isn't my first rodeo. At least y'all have nice weather and a decent infrastructure! Half of my tax dollars went to snow removal in Mass. Who knows what happened to the other half because it sure as **** didn't go to fixing anything!

 

Decent infrastructure in Ca.?
The taxes we have paid before the registration and fuel tax hike have hardly put a dent in fixing the roads and now the state is getting more.
A lot of the money is funneled out for other things!

You will enjoy the weather at least.

 

Yeah, but we do have what I hear are some mighty fine train right-of-way and even some tracks. Someday we might even get a Moonbeam Express, for when you want to go from nowhere to nowhere. But I hope not.

 

Long story short - CA will not require an initial smog check on your bike upon first CA registration nor do they require yearly safety/smog inspections like some other states do.

 

OP~ Since you have access to "illegal contraband" where you are now, and you're moving to California, where full system pipes aren't allowed, you might want to smuggle...I mean bring some extra systems with you. Just in case your wears out or something...

Oddly, most of those "full systems" are made in California!
