A little info for those members in Arkansas that want to register your deuces. I had talked to the revenue office on and off since I had purchased my deuce, boy that was an enlightening experience. What I found out was:
The whole 30 days to register your vehicle is the same as before but you can have an exception if you can't get it done. I explained to the supervisor at the Benton office of my situation with having to wait until I could have physical custody of my deuce once the EUC cleared. There is a form you will have to fill out stating that you did not drive it until said date when you took receipt of it.
Insurance was a slight pain in the backside for me because there isn't hardly anyone that will touch it. I ended up with State Farm with a personal commercial policy that covers me to drive it anytime I want.
Now I spent the $60 for an SF-97 from GL. I would highly recommend that because they can't really give you a reason not to give you your tags. They almost did me that way today. I gave them my signed paid invoice, SF-97, letter that came with SF-97, and proof of insurance along with proof of paid property taxes and assessment of deuce. They had a difficult time with understanding the SF-97 but I explained how it went and they finally got the big picture.
I ended up with antique tags, which is cheap to renew each year. They did say I can't carry anything over 1,000 lbs with those tags.
All in all my advice would be to give your local revenue office a call and speak with the manager first and explain what is going on. It helped me considerably today because I spoke with ours several times before I registered the deuce. If anyone has any questions just pm me and I would be glad to help.
