    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Consider the following: avoiding DMV back fees

Danm, and I thought my messed up VIN number at the DMV was a pain in the ass.

The VIN was only a partial at the DVM. I had to change it.

I am glad I am not in CA.
 
Some states, like here in NV require an inspection of the bike to title or register. So you'll have to find a state that won't require that. Or transport the bike as well.
 
If I recall correctly Georgia does not require any inspection for out of state title transfers. Register the bike Georgia. Then register it in CA.
 
Do you have any relatives in another state ? Registering it in another state is your only option, besides paying the ridiculous fees. Wait a year and then reg in Mexifornia
 
Transfer it to a relative you can trust out of state, register it there, keep that plate and registration for 30 days, then have him sign the title over to you (he could do this the day he registers it, sending it back to you), then take the paperwork to the DMV and register it in CA. If you had a relative here in MN it would be easy. They do require the engine # and VIN for title here in MN, but that's no big deal.

Actually they do.
County's finest has to come to your home to run the VIN. You then carry that form to the DMV and proceed from there.
This applies to out of state titles or non titled bikes over a certain age
 
Well, I got an uncle in Tennessee. And a raging desire not to give this state more money. So I'll look into it.
 
got to love these "laws" not much you can do than play the game with them, but it is interesting how quickly local and even state governments overstep the line and test the waters for what the public will accept.

here in Massachusetts a story in the news was a lawyer fighting a law that makes you pay $25 to be seen before a clerk to fight a ticket and another $50 to be seen before a judge saying basically it is taking away our right to due process where the fees could cost as much or more than the ticket. My last one was free for the clerk and they reduced the $100 ticket to $10 and it would cost me $25 to take it the next step, I paid the $10 knowing it would suck for my insurance but bad enough losing half a day of work for saving $90.

Anyways till people push it up the courts nothing changes and until a politician or lawyer has to deal with the laws nothing ever seems to get done lol
 
eh you blokes live in a strange country when it comes to all of the state laws ect- we have different provinces that are have thier own political premeriers that in charge, but the national law is the one that is generally used. Our licence system is not as complicated , but is still none the less frustratingly difficult to get the correct information and can become quite complicated,and expensive for the likes for registrations.
A clever solution used in our bike club by one member who insists on riding BSA's is to have 1 number plate, 1 licence disc and 1 set of papers ( title?) for a whole lot of bikes,at most only two of them are road ready- and only one is ridden on the road at a time anyway- the rest are spares and junkers ect. Cops here cant be bothered to read engine numbers and all that melaki , so as long as they see a disc and a plate you're ok, they will not go looking further....... ah sometimes the potholes and fuel shortages are not so bad afterall!!

Over here it's what we call a 'community plate'.
B.T.D.T. ;)
 
nice one. can you imagine a society where logic prevailed?- i suppose it would be a bore! look at the VULCANS on star trek- logic no passion- there would be no ducattis or ferraris in vulcan - just bmw's and toyotas! Good luck chaps with your registration woes!
 
Here's a thought, anyone ever tried negotiating with the DMV? Good, old fashioned haggling?
