Here in Iowa we pay a 5% tax on the value of a vehicle when we buy it and an additional property tax plus a registration tax each year when we register it. That can range from less than $20 per year to several hundred depending upon the type and value of the vehicle. Motorcycles are quite cheap to register, for the time being.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
