As if we need another reason… A week after getting my new motorcycle, a friend of mine who has been riding for years shot me an email giving me a heads-up that motorcycles have been included as “qualifying vehicles” in the Economic Stimulus Package! I guess the motorcycle industry lobbied pretty hard to make sure they were included. So if you buy a new motorcycle this year, you can deduct the sales tax on next year’s tax return!
