Bought a used motorcycle and have the notarized title. Now what?

• justincredible

  

  It's been 10 years since I've bought a used vehicle and had to do this crap. Can I go to any registrar and get temp tags and then transfer the title within 30 days? Or do I need to go to a title office and transfer ownership right away? Hopefully scenario one since it's a pain to get to the closest title office on a lunch break. The closest registrar is only a half mile from the office.

  Submit notarized title, pay tax, get tags

  I'm assuming this must take place at a title office and not just a registrar? If so, is it possible to make the bike legal without going to the title office?

  If it's going into Ohio from out of state, you need to get a VIN inspection at a car dealership (almost any will do it, costs $2 or so). Take that to the title office, get the title. Take it to the BMV and get your tags.
  
  That's the fastest way to a real tag. If you go straight to the BMV, they have to process the title, and can only issue you a temp tag until your title comes in (then you can pick up your real plates).
  
  I just did this a few months ago bringing a car from PA

  I would recommend getting a life.

  Isn't a motorcycle a step towards getting a life? I'm perplexed..

  Already have that and the matching assless chaps.

  Might want to get you b-hole bleached too. Just to make sure you are looking your best in those chaps.

  fix the tank dent, paint the whole bike a new color, bring it to Biketoberfest in Daytona.

  Waste of money to get temp tags. I always get my title, then go straight to the BMV and get real tags.

  So you wait ~15 days to get your tags?
• tuskytuffguy

  I've never had to wait 15 days. Last time I bought a vehicle, I went to the title office and got title put in my name, then went straight to BMV and got tags. I've done that same process at least 3 times.

  Perhaps, but I don't have time to go to the title office and I'd like to be able to ride until I do.

  That is the plan. At least fixing the dent and painting the bike.

  Bring it to the Easyrider Rodeo in Chillicothe on Labor Day weekend.

  May I suggest forming an OC Motorcycle gang? Oh..I mean Club?
  
  Seems like there could be a few potential "Old Ladies" already as OC members.
