Complicated Scenario for Tax Novice

OK, first off, I have very little understanding of how taxes work but am possibly putting myself into a pretty complicated situation.

I am from Massachussetts, have a Massachusetts drivers license, and usually live there, however I am in the National Guard and am on TDY (Temporary Duty) in Missouri for 5 months. Military pay is taxed in your home state (MA for me) however I am hoping to buy a motorcycle while here. I do not have a MA motorcycle license, but I can provide the necessary documents to get one in Missouri, because Massachusetts doesn't have an option to apply for one without physically being in the RMV office. If I get a Missouri license does that make me a MO resident? Will if effect my taxes? I have no intent to actually live and stay in MO but am willing to go through the licensing hassle and then switch it when the time comes to renew in the future but if it is going to cause problems with my taxes then its isn't worth it to me, as I can hardly manage to file my taxes as it is right now.


My question is essentially how will this effect my taxes (if at all) and if it will get me into legal trouble as far as residency, etc. Sorry if this question doesn't make sense, I don't really know how states determine residency, and how its linked between states. Thanks for any help!
