- In Norway we have *astronomical* registration fees/vehicle taxes (200%)/
- insurance premiums especially on motos. There is ONE exception though..
- Vehicles older than 30 yrs are excempt from ALL (I mean it!) taxes. Even
- the insurance is cheap. I pay 300 NOK (about $50) to have my Triumph
- insured a full year, no mileage limitations.. This does not cover expences
- to have it repaired in case of a crash, but does include theft/invalidity/
- fire
