Pennsylvania Legislation Allowing The Vertical Display Of Regisration Plates On motorcycles. It was passed by the state House and now heads to the Senate. Currently, the state vehicle code does not specify how a vehicle registration plate may be mounted. However, regulations in Title 67 of the Pennsylvania Code require horizontal mounting of vehicle registration plates and do not give the option for vertical mounting. House Bill would also authorize the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to produce, upon request, registration plates for motorcycles, which display the identifying characters in a vertical alignment. Penn DOT may charge an additional fee of $20 to issue of those plates, in addition to the regular annual registration fee of $18.

One day, at a gas station I talked to a guy driving a F-150 HD. He didn’t own a Harley! Thought it was cool.
Ford is probably in negotiation with Indian for a newtruck
Ok so the F-150 is Ford’s most popular model and the H-D edition is the most expensive example. Maybe if Harley put blue ovals and Ford logo’s on their highest priced Streetglide the relationship would continue.
Pa. has got one of the best MRF’s………………..ABATE. and they get things done. They have a large membership which = political clout. They also throw some fine parties……………………..
Luv the truck, but not the price
I am a GM man but I bought a new 2001 Harley F150 I loved that truck. I was just thinking when I am ready for a new truck I would check out the twin turbo F150 Harley trucks.
