BanjoBoy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I just read this in Road Racing World & Technology... Linkage Now maybe I can get the new RT I've been lusting after! Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Doubt it would cover the cost of the divorce that a new RT would entail for me. Heck, I don't even have enough money to get my scrotum reattached if I were caught looking at a new RT. Link to comment
BFish Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 stimulus has paced...details being negotiated..can't imagine moto's would be added to the vehicle "incentive", but you never know. Link to comment

Yeah, but my motto (and scrotum saver) is: Better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission." Why just yesterday I bought a new NRA commemorative Ruger Mini 14......I will begging once she finds it!!! Link to comment

Why just yesterday I bought a new NRA commemorative Ruger Mini 14......I will begging once she finds it!!! Sandpaper is the answer. A good buddy told me that, when you buy something you shouldn't, just take some extra fine sandpaper and get the "new" off of it. When your wife finds it, it won't look too new and shiny and you can claim that she bought it for you Christmas before last. It might work with a Mini 14, but doubt it would on a new RT.

upflying Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Accepting a tax break from the government to buy a motorcycle will probably come with strings attached. The requirement that the motorcycle be a hybrid/CNG/hydrogen or electric design is one that comes to mind. Other strings will probably include speed limited to 76 mph and an airbag similar to what the Gold Wing has. Auto-deployable sidewheels and a roll-over cage will also be required. I guess I can't buy that Ural I've been looking at. Still want that handout? Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wouldn't work here. Nina has a better memory than all of my 4 PC's !!! Link to comment
11101110 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My understanding of the automobile incentive was a stipulation that the car/truck HAD to be made in the USA. Trivia alert: The truck that has the highest percentage of american made parts was the Nissan Titan. Not sure about the current model year though. Link to comment

And the credit is for any new vehicle purchase, foreign or domestic, with or without auto-deployable sidewheels and a roll-over cage. Link to comment
Wooster Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If I'm reading it (news coverage of current stimulus package) right, it will allow for a tax deduction (that is, subtracting the sales tax amount from one's taxable income) when buying a car, truck, rv and/or motorcycle with no stipulation as to country of origin. So, that new R12R at 15k (approx) would entail a $450 sales tax (in MA that's 5%) and by reducing my taxable income by that amount would save $120 (assuming a 30% tax rate).

Mugs Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Somehow when all is said and done I doubt that we will get any kind of break for buying a new bike. But just in case I ordered a new RT. If I do get a tax break, it will also ease about three weeks of cold stares from my better 3/4. Now that's something to look forward to! Link to comment
