I had a friend who had a sports car in Washington and he had the same reasoning for not licensing it. The cost with sales tax and the annual fees were so high to get a license plate and the ticket for getting caught without a plate was low enugh he never did get plates for the car.

it looks like the maximum fine for not registering a bicycle is $25.

hmmm....

i have 7 bikes, and i'd pay $54 to register each, so that means i'd be out $378 for 2 years worth of bike registration.

15 fines would be $375.

i'd have to get stopped and fined 16 times in those 2 years before it it would be a better deal to pay the registration fees.

pretty funny.
