Default NJ Screwed Us Again

The DMV in NJ raised our motorcycle registration fees from $31 to $65 without any remorse, even after getting bombarded with protests from riders and some politicians...

When's it going to end...................

Hang onto your wallet because that's just the beginning. New Jersey is BILLIONS in the red (thanks to your Gov. Corzine's wild spending) and they can't just print money like the Feds are doing, so taxes and fees are going to go through the roof.

I moved out of Jersey over a decade ago and never looked back.

I am sorry to hear that.It is a shame that the lack of funding due to incompetence needs to be replenished by the hard working American!
Recently did a 2 year registration here in Fla. 2 year registration was $56.00. I'm sure it will jump up as well. Too bad I could not buy a 20 year sticker at todays rate........

come on down to la. i pay about $20 for a 4 year tag, and the only time you pay tax on it is at initial purchase. and you get an exemption for the amount of the trade in, if applicable.

course the sales tax rate is somewheres around 8%

"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos" I've got 2 more years here, which I'll enjoy, but the search is on for better place to live and ride. Any ideas?

Yep...good 'ol politicians!

The Governor of CO recently made a "strategic" decision to raise the fee here in CO by ~$45, so that bridges & roads could be repaired (aka, more money for social programs, to hell with the roads).

The fee was specific to Motorcycles? That sounds like discrimination...Guessing a high $ lawyer could make NJ reverse their decision...:S
