I'll be at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside but would be willing to drive several hours in order to find a good deal.

Also, If I buy a bike out of California will I be able to register it there? I've been overseas for several years and plan to make California my permenant residence.

On military bases we often don't pay sales tax when shopping so I was shocked to find California is 8% plus.

Thanks for all the answers you guys have given me so far.

Yes there are issues with registering out of state bikes. They need to have a certain amount of mileage before they can be registered here.

Are you eligible to purchase an H-D thru their military sales? Don't know how that works but have read of others here purchasing that way.
