Panther Update

More on the Panther

Hey, talking about Panthers, how about the Carolina Panthers making it to Superbowl 50?

I know who madame will be rooting for, I mean a Panther and a Leopard are pretty similar creatures, right?

Any way, back to the plot.
Earlier this week, I went to the California DMV to register the Panther.
DMV 1 Norm 0

On to round two, I needed a vehicle inspection, so instead of loading, unloading, reloading, unloading the bike on my truck, I paid $75 to a licensed contractor to come and inspect the Panther at home.
Once done, I headed to the DMV for the second round.
"No your appointment from earlier does not count you have to wait in line"

I got ticket B340, they were serving B290. I timed the progress, about 1.5 minutes per number.
About 75 minutes, at the DMV!!!!
Well they picked up the pace and it was only about 50 minutes.

I now have the registration docs and the license plate
with tags. The pink will come in the mail.


Much to my chagrin,  Jerry Brown, AKA Moonbeam, Governor of this great state of ours can sleep easy tonight knowing that I have made a significant donation to the state coffers.
It also helps keep the guys in Folsom gainfully employed.

Even though I registered the bike in February it got January tags as that is when I bought it.
In the words of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "Stiffed Again Moriarty"
Well he would have said it if Sherlock had to deal with the DMV.

Oh well, you can't fight city hall or the DMV.


The tech stuff is progressing and a further blog will give updates on that real soon.
