hey all,
I hope some of you can anser my question. I just purchased a bike which had a lein holder on it. The seller paid off his loan with my money. Seller gave me a faxed copy that says it is paid off, and I have the title in hand. However, I am still waiting for the certified copy that will come in by mail. Does anyone know if the DMV will require the certified document to register the bike, or can i still use the faxed copy from the corp. to get it registered.

I went to DMV today and they were closed until next Tuesday for Memorial day.. arghh..
So.. I was wondering if there is some kind of a grace period before you register your bike.
For example, if you buy a used car from a private seller, you would drive it home without a tag, but you have a proof of sales. Is this the same for bikes?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,,

 

you have 30days to register it and get insurance. but you can't use it with tags

 

so does it mean, i can just have the buyer's old expired tag on the bike and run it until i get it registered?

 

Return the old tags, then wait until you get it properly registered and insured before you ride; or just go have fun now.
