PNO or no-PNO

[jaim547]

So I am debating making my race bike Planned Nonoperation (PNO). I have never done this before and am wondering what the ramifications are? Can it be made street legal again in the future?

a) You don't pay annual registration fees on it
b) You can pay the fees and get the sticker for the license plate (or a plate if it was PNO from the start) whenever you want, without a penalty fee.

My race bike was PNO starting from mile 0.

Yep PNO is easy and the almost legit way to go. Technically you aren't legally allowed to transport a PNO vehicle on public roads. There is some obscure paperwork you can do to be totally legal with a race vehicle where you aren't paying annual registration fees and are still legally allowed to transport it to races.

I doubt very many people actually do this, but if you want to be totally legit that's the way to do it.

Well, if you are towing it in a properly registered trailer or other properly registered vehicle, you technically are not operating it on public roads, and the conveyance that is carrying it is being operated legally.

I didn't bother reading the thing at barf but I dont think there is a court anywhere that would uphold a ticket written for a PNO bike being transported.

iirc the old rule according to DMV used to be "if the wheels touch a public street one day, then you owe for the year". I've heard the BARF idea before, that it bars trailering but it doesn't seem logical, they bar you from moving too?
