Update: We have a title!!! Title arrived in the mail today. It would have been faster but the processing time was slowed down due to VT plate and reg arriving while I was away for two weeks. I now have a completely legal and titled motorcycle. Just waiting on the plates and registration...

Wish I could help. I know nothing about Canadian ownership document requirements. If you were in the states I'd tell you to do the VT route.

Ditto the VT route... see my previous post on the topic. I am awaiting a PA title (have been told that it's been processed and approved). Fairly painless process, there is a very in depth thread on AdvRider that shows 100s of success stories with this particular method. Do yourself a favor...

Crackers: Thanks for the reply. But I did speak with them and found out that they send plate and registration separately. I've received everything I'll get from VT (ie permanent registration). So I've done the insurance thing and am now waiting on a plate and title from PA. I elected not to...

Update 3: I received my VT plate in the mail today. Unfortunately my tank is at the radiator shop getting cleaned up, welded, and sealed. Will update again when I get my title and PA reg. Very excited. Edit: I received the plate, but it looks like they only gave me a copy of my application...

Then I'm half-way there.... Let's hope I got all the paperwork right and the so-called VT option works as advertised.

For RI, the registration is transferrable. It is legal ownership document, basically the title. This is only true of older vehicles (I don't remember the age-cutoff). I'm doing the so-called "Vermont-route" with an old Triumph. Luckily it's 15+ years old, and has just under 500cc. All I...

Update part 2: after doing some VIN research in relevant states, I've found out that it wasn't actually registered in RI. This means that I'm going the so-called VT route. I figure this should work because it's less than 500cc (490, 30ci) and older than 15 years. This means it won't need VIN...

Update: I've finally found a way to contact the previous owner. He's still rollin on ebay. He's got a couple nice bikes up right now in fact. He's agreed to sign whatever I send to him. So I'll be able to have a BOS to at least show ownership. The process as I understand from the RI DMV...

Hello All, I've got a 1971 T100C and I'm trying to get it titled in PA. I purchased it in 2006 while I was deployed in Iraq. I had my dad help me pick it up. It was purchased without a title from a no-title state (RI). I have misplaced the bill of sale (2006-2014, 3 moves later)... I have...

Hey everyone-- I've been riding for years and lately been lurking on this site for quite a bit. I've got a 71 triumph T100C and a 77 Yamaha RD400 (in a million pieces in my dad's basement in Massachusetts!!!). Anyway, this looks like a great forum for what I'm into. I look forward to...
