I guess some people may call them titles. Are any available? What do you do if you don't get a title with your bike?

TP ,

Hopefully you have a bill of sale for your bike . Generally , that's what is needed to start the application process for getting a title .
I'm not sure what the requirements are in Texas . Maybe Reese will stop in . I think he went through that , but

There's always the Vermont path . Here's a thread on the VMBC site that should explain it :

In Oklahoma we have what is called the Title 42 process. It works really well and is pretty simple to get a regular Oklahoma title for a vehicle. Here's a link: https://www.ok.gov/tax/documents/752.pdf

I'm the person that went through the Vermont process and posted that information on the VMBC site. I would recommend it. As I mentioned in the other post, you just need to follow the instructions carefully and be honest.

Most states have some kind of procedure for getting a title. In some states it is a bonded tile program (Texas is) and some states it's more like Oklahoma's Title 42 process. The process for each state can vary from simple to virtually impossible. Vermont is probably the easiest state to work with to get yourself legal.

You may or may not be able to get a title in YOUR state after doing the initial work in Vermont. That is up to YOUR state and has nothing to do with Vermont. At the very least using the Vermont system you will end up with a registration and can then run a license plate, do insurance and ride legally.

In Illinois it's a bit of a hassle, but doable if your patient.  It took me 8 months to get my new title.

Do I just copy those papers and mail them in to Vermont?

Do I just copy those papers and mail them in to Vermont?

I think that's what I would do . Copy ; fill in the blanks and a check . I'd probably call Vermont before I sent anything out just be sure . But , that might also complicate things .

Maybe Doodle Bugger will stop in and verify .

Yep, that's what I did...filled out their forms, printed them off, and then mailed them along with my payment. I did not call them first, but I guess that I could have. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you fill in the forms correctly, don't lie, and mail the appropriate payment amount.
