Ok this is the Vermont way. It really is the easiest thing possible. Just got on the phone with them. Follow these steps exactly:
1. Go to the VT DMV website and download form TA-VD-119. Print it out and have it in front of you.
2. Call the main office at the VT DMV and tell them that you want to register your bike through the post. They could give a crap you live in a different state. It's pretty much free money for them.
Edit: call the Montpelier location at 802-828-2000. They are very friendly.
3. On the phone, ask them what sections of the form you need to fill out. They will ask you really easy questions to figure out what you're trying to do. Just tell them you're trying to register your motorcycle. They'll tell you from there what to fill out.
4. Tell them the make and model of your bike. They will ask you how much you paid for it. They will look up your bike in a big book of vintage bikes and tell you the book value. They charge you about 6% of that number plus the tag fee. Mine ended up being $96 and some change.
5. Ask them where to mail the form. I can't remember the address off my head.
6. Fill out the form the way they tell you, and all of the sections they tell you to. You will not fill out all the sections most likely.
7. Put the filled out form, a check with the amount they tell you and a copy of your bill of sale in the mail.
8. 5 days later you will receive your plate in the mail. A few days after that you will receive a transferable bill of sale and registration.
They won't provide you a title. That's not what it's about I don't think. They just make it legal for you to ride the bike in your state on the road. Getting a title is still up to your local laws.
Hope that helps.
