I got the bracket done, but I don't feel any different... maybe I am not doing something right. I will post some pictures over the weekend. I am taking the bike to hit some dirt trails next weekend, so I am keeping the tires for now. I changed the spark plug wire to a 7mm that I found lying around.

I ordered a DOT helmet and it is coming next week. I also ordered the license plate for my bike as well.

I am so ready for the next ride!!!

[edfang]

Download this form, fill it out, mail it in. The cost is $19.

We can bring you the form next ride. One lifetime fee of $19.00 for plate/registration or I'll find out webpage from DMV {think it's form 230}. Let you know somtime today.

 

[Venice Motor Bikes]

I just copied 100 of those forms.... I'll bring some to the next ride for everyone.

 

[ballermj23]

great! gotta get me a license plate holder like rockvoice.

 

[bairdco]

a quick note on the plate. mine's mounted to the side of my ammo can/saddlebag, and technically, that's illegal, because it has to be visible from the back.

BUT,

the cop i talked to told me there's no law against mounting them sideways on the fender or frame or whatever, or even upside down.

so it doesn't have to stick out all big.

next bike, i'm thinking maybe a hinged plate holder that you can swing out when you ride, and tuck in so you don't smash it up in the garage.

 

[MxG]

do i send it to my local dmv?

 

[bairdco]

here's a link to the form: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg230.pdf

fill it out, mail it to the address on the form, send in your 19 bucks, and wait. (your local DMV is clueless and can't handle it. at least, costa mesa couldn't. and they don't have the plates there anyway, so you still have to wait.)

as for the next question you're about to ask, use your bicycle's serial number for the VIN, and for the engine number, i use the same serial number, except i put an "E" in front of it. ("E" is for "engine," get it?)

I also engrave that number onto the engine itself, because when you register your bike, it goes into a database, and if it gets stolen, it can be tracked. it's also a lot easier to show the cop the engine then it is to flip over my bike so he can read the serial number on the bottom bracket.

About a month.

On my new bike I'm doing what Baird did; I'm carrying a photocopy of the filled out form & a copy of my check to the DMV incase the cops pull me over!

 

[bairdco]

seriously, that saved me. since it was the same cop that pulled me over the second time, he told me if i didin't have that copy he woulda impounded my bike. THAT woulda sucked.
