VIN decoder Q:
Hi folks. Got a bit of a dilemma with the DMV in the great state of Komiforna.
Trying to title and register a 2005 Pampera with a VIN of VTRPP2800E0*****
The "E" in the 10th character denotes a 2005 model year per GasGas logic.
According to CA DMV that is either a 1984 or 2014 per their understanding.
They are requiring me to take the bike to the Highway Patrol office for
examination. What is the chance that the CHP officer won't know the GasGas
rules of VIN designation? Pretty good in my opinion. Thus causing more
confusion...
Is there a "GasGas" document that I could copy or get a hold of that I could
take with me to the inspection that would explain in official terms gasgas's
use of VIN codes?
I do have the original New York title stating the bike was sold new in 2005.
CA knows it all and rather stubborn to admit when they are wrong or ignorant.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
Cheers, Jeff
