Buying A Used Bike
Alright, I got the bike picked, talked to the man, ridden the bike, like the bike and now I am going to buy it. My question is what does it take to get the bike put in my name once I go to the DMV what exactly is everything that I need. Unfortuently I found the DMV site a little vague for the purpose so I am asking you, my fellow forum goers. What do I need to make sure the title is transfered to my name, and the bike is registered to my name. What do I have to do to renew the plates on the car since he let them expire during the winter? Thanks alot!

Really? DMV must be retards around here, last time I asked they told me you could only transfer your own plates from one of your cars to another, you couldnt transfer someone elses plates to you.

i've registeded probably a hundred bikes/cars, and i never once had a bill of sale. just had the signed/dated title. never needed anything else to register.
you do have to have proof of insurance to get plates though.

Re: Buying A Used Bike
bill of sale is what you pay taxes on. take my truck for example. i paid 4500 for it. the NADA is 7500. since i didn't have a signed bill of sale from the previous owner, i had to pay taxes on 7500 instead of 4500 (90 dollar difference)
i didn't need proof of insurance either. they asked if i had it, and i said yes, which was a lie, but it got registered, tags, and i got insurance the next day. do not drive with no insurance though, unless you like playing with fire, live grenades, whatever floats your boat.
