Bike registration issues - paging the GG importer

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Bailey, its time to call your representative, because what you've described is typical DMV BS!

The MSO doesn't list a CC, but it has the horsepower and a model number that implicitly states the size of the engine. However, don't recall ever seeing an MSO or title with displacement. That includes GasGas' from the previous importer, and a handful of titles I have in my filing cabinet.

You can reach Clay at 404-223-4646 or by emailing him at clay@ggor.us. How you plan on reaching your state representative is up to you.

I haven't thought about trying to get my registered in tx, but that would be fun! I guess you would have to carry some pre-mix around?

This is just typical DMV BS that is getting worse all the time. MSOs have been the same for years like twowheels states. Considering the way things are going in this country (downhill), it would not surprise me if it all heads in the direction of NJ where a registration is impossible unless the bike is on the list of those homolagated for street use.

Its not Clay's fault. You guys buyng race bikes, any race bikes, should do your homework first on what is required in your state if a legit plate is needed.

Just be happy you can ride without looking over your shoulder for the man.

Slightly off topic, but here in washington, many are seriously considering riding in closed areas as there is no enforcement.

It is getting crazy, last year the legislature took all of the ORV tag money from Dept. of Natural Resources and gave it to the state parks (~$10M worth). Only problem, there is only one state park in washington that allows ORV's.

Back on topic, here they have targeted and taken all license plates from most KTM's. I think it is a matter of time before they target us to.

We have been plagued with liberals and their policies running this state for awhile. They have no use for us or our sport, it does not fit the agenda. Proposed off road parks shot down, ATV registration funds diverted. We have NO legal place to ride. Races are by special permit on state land, and over the years the over breeding of lawyers has scared a lot of private land away.

If the current administration had their way, you'd be lucky to ride your electric scooter to your job in an LED light bulb factory.

Eventually you will be outlaws like me, or just give it up, which is what they want.

The technical term they used at the DMV was "adding the line". What that means is the dealer who gets the bikes is supposed to call the head DMV and add the line (GG) to the list so we can register our bikes.

Two things they were picky about, the CC and the odometer verification on the back of the MCO.

I was the first to register an '11 GG in IN. They had to add XC250 to their data base but had Gas Gas in there already. I also hit a snag on the odometer statement but got through it by signing that the odo was not "actual mileage".

Clay addressed this somewhat in another thread (I think it was the 'new suggestions' one). In order to get the Fed Emisisons Compliance sticker GG has to do a huge amount of testing and a 2t won't pass, therefore they can bypass this by listing it as 'off road' only. As owners we have to deal with this status locally and maybe get around it; that's why the tailight stuff gets shipped in the box but not installed like in other countries. Here in CA you've got no real chance of ever getting one of these regg'd (I tried); they're not on the list which requires a CHP or DMV verification: if it doesn't have an odo that's a red flag; a missing, unreadable or 'off road only' emissions sticker will make it impossible to reg for the street.

Sucks but that's the way it is.....

If riding is outlawed only outlaws will ride.

Hopefully you can get this sorted in FL.
