How do you get a title from another State to refresh a Title in Pennsylvania? Vermont Titles?
When Covid Shutdown I spent too many hours at home fixing stuff in the house, When I painted everything and oiled every squeaky door and mulched around the house. I started to look on line for project bikes locally. I was lucky to find two project bikes each under $400, GS500e 1993 Shed find and a 2003 Ninja 500D front end collision wreck, Clean titles. After a few months of ebay parts and trips to local used parts companies, I got both back on the road. And had fun doing it.
Current Three car garage has the following taking up a full car bay, Honda 50, 80,100 dirt bikes, 1980 Honda twinstar 200, 2002 Ducati Monster Dark 750,
2004 Suzuki GSXR1000. Plus the Kawasaki and Suzuki project biks. Three family riders, Daughter 20 and Son 18.
There is no room for any more but....

While looking for GS500 Tank, I found a 2009 GS500F 8,600 miles Odometer Running Cycle with no Title and all of the Fairings for the magic $300. Over two hours away and will need to rent a truck to get it.
Two questions Has anyone done the Vermont Title thing? I live in Pennsylvania, so if I can get an out of state title I should be good to go. But how do you actually get a Vermont tile for a bike you have never owned?
Second question is when is it a good idea to stop? For the money I am saying just one more. Just a last one to tinker with?
Looking forward to the interesting replies :dunno_black:
I would ask what would Jesus do , but he was a carpenter's son , not a mechanic.
Perhaps you need to stop collecting when you start asking the question.
Otherwise just keep on buying bikes!
A no-title issue is sticky. The DMV wants to make sure the bike was not stolen.
You could call the DMV of the state it is in and give them the VIN and see what happens.
(If the SWAT team pulls up, you can figure the rest out on your own.)
I suspect you could pay the Vermont DMV to reissue a title for that state. Then you just get the seller to sign it over.
Take the fresh title to the Penn DMV and process it.
Just guessing here. I bought a donor GS from a junkyard but never planned to title it.
Then again the junkyard is in the same state I live in. I might be able to get a salvage title for it IF I ever thought I would put it on the road.
I *hear* that Georgia (at least they used to) process bikes with few questions.
Good luck!
