Fair enough, here's some more counters: :blah:blah
I have one question for you specifically:
How many Motorcycles have you applied a Transportion Permit for?
I'm not sure what DB is (Dune Buggy?). If that's the case, a buggy wouldn't since this permit is specific to racing motorcycles.
Dirt Bike
That being said, having a valid registration (either on or off highway) and bothering with the permit seems duplicitous.
Which is why OHV Stickers/Reg Cover Off Road Dirt Bikes, Not the Transportation Permit.
From your link, the CVC states:
"A special Motorcycle Transportation Permit may be issued for the purpose of transporting a racing motorcycle to and from racing events."
Where does it state specifically a
"racing motorcycle" is a
Dirt
Bike? It doesn't. Because unless the bike was purchased via MSO only (like a factory racer), it's unlikely a DB used and purchased in CA would not have a green or red ohv sticker.
Form 712 States:
"I further certify that this motorcycle is used exclusively in racing events on a closed course."
Here's more since we are citing CVC:
