Tagged in Tennessee
At the county clerk's office I handed in my MCO and bill of sale, paid taxes and fees ($157 total) and walked out with tags, title and registration. Oddly enough, she told me to have fun on my new dirt bike, when I told her that it was a street and trail she looked a bit confused....
Dang, I could have bought a straight dirt bike and got it tagged! |

Like I said, I really appreciate everything you've have done to get me there!
But I never did get it on the road today. I plan on getting up early in the morning and going for a ride before anyone else here even wakes up. I've been planning to follow the Nolichucky river as far as I can, then heading on the backroads into the North Carolina mountains... I'll stick to the paved/gravel fireroads in the Pisga Nat. Forest. Pretty much just a shakedown ride. The bike seems pretty solid and I don't expect any problems. As long as the freaking bears leave me alone this time! |

Just remember, it needs to have gas in it to make it go forward without your help.
I rode mine about 20 miles on a quarter gallon then pushed it 4 blocks to the gas station. I put 2 bucks in there and have gone another 150 miles.

Stop often to check for loose bolts.!!
Psyched to hear your gonna go for a good ride.... and your plated and legal.... Be sure you dont terrify the natives too much and keep a tool kit handy to check for loose bolts frequently.. The first few miles on your new China bike are the most critical for discovering hidden problems... I would recomend staying close to home for at least the first 100 miles...
But thats just me.. so... rip it up and have fun and be safe.... Net
