Title Chain IssuesMotorcycles are more likely to need a lost title because there’s more frequently a gap in the title chain meaning that motorcycles aren’t always on the road in most parts of the country they can only be used about half the year so having a motorcycle off the road means that’s all that more time that the title can get lost that it’s not being transferred that the ownership isn’t being maintained sometimes a bike can be off the road for two or three years it’s also not what’s called an essential vehicle because it can’t be used year-round it’s not somebody’s primary vehicle in most cases so a lot of times these bikes will sit in a garage sit in a backyard sit in storage for years and then somebody will sell it during that time the title chain can be broken there’s also easier DMV rules for titling motorcycles so if you do have a motorcycle with a loss title the DMV rules are a lot more lacs to get you a title than it is for more expensive vehicle.
Starting with what you haveSo start with what you have: do you have a bill of sale? Do you have the owner’s name? Do you have the VIN number? Start with what you have and then work forward to build on things you don’t have, but don’t take any shortcuts. Title applications are legal documents that have to be done the right way.
DIY Title ApplicationYou can do it yourself very inexpensively you don’t have to pay a lot of money you don’t have to hire a person you can do all this stuff yourself in fact for most motorcycles that are older than 15 years you can actually get a legal title ownership application document from Vermont it doesn’t matter where you live doesn’t matter what state you’re in doesn’t matter where the bike is you can get a Vermont registration title and then convert it to your state very easy to do we’ve done other videos on this in the past so motorcycles are actually very easy although a lot of times the title chain has been broken for a longer period of time so that may start you out with a little more work to do but remember you can do it yourself and nobody needs to charge you money to do this for you.
