Sorry I can not make the Michaux ride. I bought my quad in Pa. but I live in Md. and picked it up so I did not have to pay taxes. It looks to me the only way to get a sticker is to pay the taxes. Thats $600.00 I can spend on some after market things. I am riding Tower City Saturday if anyone is headed there.
Ride Safe..............or at least lean forward on the steep hills. By the way I went to school in Slanesville many years ago and my relatives (Voits) have a road named after them there. I would like to get to Paw Paw soon and do the track trail to Hancock and back. Let me know.

 

$600???? Did you pay 10,000 for your ATV? I paid $6,000 for my ATV and my taxes were only $310. Its only like 5 or 6 %

Im pretty sure if you bought it in PA , you paid taxes, yo should look at your receipt.

 

At the dealer I was told that as long as they can show proof that the quad was delivered to a Maryland residence I could avoid paying the taxes, so no taxes were paid. I signed a form to cover them saying it was delivered, but actually I picked it up. My dealer is pretty cool and looks for ways to help save money. I figure with all the other taxes we pay in this day and age, why pay when you don't have to.

I live in extreme northeastern Maryland and can be in Pa. or De. in 10 minutes, so needless to say pretty much all my purchases are in Delaware or Pa. I did fudge the math and taxes at 6% on my quad would be $342, but that will pay my membership for a year at Tower City, so it looks like Michaux is out for me.

I can take an exemption on the taxes and claim the machine is also used for farm work (which it is) but since the trails will be closed till Memorial Day after this weekend I've got time to decide on that. I may run into you at Michaux in early June. Ride safe....or at least lean way forward on the real steep hills.

 

Slimjonesy, there as been a slight change of plans. We are going to ride at Michaux (10:00 at Big Flat) on Saturday instead of Sunday. More people can make it on that day and the weather is supposed to be better too. This is the last weekend that Michaux will be open to ATV riding until it reopens again for the summer season on Memorial Day weekend...

 

ok i will see whats going on for me on Saturday. SHE might let me go......lol, I just got back from riding there and it is VERY dusty. Fun...but dusty. LOL
