VIN Stickey
Thanks Jim for your thoughts. I really doubt our local DMV would accept
a copy of a forum post as proof of fact. It's possible, but, I also have
doubts that a letter from a former dealer would hold much weight either.
Unless it was on an official "letter Head" type form or an MSO. That might
convince them.
A couple months ago when I trailer'd the bike to DMV. I did not have the
original NY title with me. Old GF Betsy still had it.
I may go back and see if the guy remembers me and would change the
form or do a re-VIN inspection with the correct manufacture date. Worth a try.
Otherwise it is 3-4 months wait to get an appointment with the CA. Highway
Patrol. They are "official" inspector in CA whenever there is confusion at
the DMV.
The last, and possibly best option, would be to have Betsy sign a DMV
bill of sale transferring the existing NY title, (with her Signature on the back)
over to me. Then proceed with the title and bike in hand back to DMV.
Cheers and it's good to see that you are still around. Too bad the era of ID.
SpodeFests have come to an end.
