While talking bikes with a couple of new local customers the subject of vintage bikes comes up, then racing, then Ducati...then I hear. Jeez, I've got this old Ducati 350 single that's been in my barn for years. I just want to get rid of it. He tells me how dirty and old it is...mentions the alloy rims are still nice. I say, hey, I'm used to that, I've dug lots of old messed up bikes out of barns...maybe I'll take off your hands...here's my phone number. Give me a call if you want to get rid of it.
On the way out he mentions again, I'll probably give you a call about the bike. I'm like no problem, I've got no projects this winter.
Wonder what it is. He's a relative of an employee so I can get in touch if I have to. Don't want to seem too eager though.

I ended up buying a coule MB5's. The good one won't see the road anyway (total race setup)so maybe I should have just got the Rieju. Too late now race bike budget is used up between the CB and MB5 and new boots. I will keep the registration offers in mind in case something else comes up.

Johnny B--if the Ducati in the Barn is not exotic enough, give me the guys number please.

If you're having trouble registering a bike... "sell" it to me, let me register it in NH, and I'll "sell" it back to you. I did that for John Phlog's Honda GT650 and another guys Suzuki GT750 so they could register the bikes in their states.

what is the cutoff for registering without a title in NH? I have a 1977 GS750 that needs to be registered but I don't have a title and locally a mechanics lein will cost too much ($300).

For bikes without a title? 1985. But I need the bike in hand to bring to the local police station to get a Verification of VIN form filled out. Then pop into the town hall and register it, which'll cost around $20-30.

You won't get a title because NH doesn't issue titles on bikes that old, but you will get a registration with the VIN and other info, which is enough to register it in any other state.

But I need to physically bring the bike to a local inspection (police) station.

You could also try Vermont's mail in registration system...
Check out their state website.

There's a couple of places online that will do that for you, motorcycles are usually about $75 bucks to re-title.

I recently sold a Beetle that I had bought in California quite a few years ago but didn't know you had to get the title notarized (I'm an idiot.)

The guy I sold it to here told me about searching in PA for stolen bikes (if you don't want a visit by the cops) is to call your state rep, apparently they can look that up for you.

Haven't verified that myself, but he seemed pretty sure of it.
