OK Jess, understood, since I might be driving the Deuce from it purchase
point to my home. I would need title and registration for operating it on the
street. Looks like the MV plate won't do me any good for getting it home,
since this is for parade use etc....I wonder if there is a permit or
temporary tag that could be used for it's initial move? And what would you
license it as if you were going to consider it a "daily driver". I don't
think mine would me used for parades only.
Guess I will be making a trip to the TxDOT or the local Tax Assessor
Collectors office this week. I just know that sometimes different offices
read the law differently.
