« Motorcycle Parking in Albuquerque | Main | Purging »
My goal for the day was to get the 750 Sport registered. Before I went over there, I figured I had better remove the license plate (which had most recently adorned the Maicoletta 275) before the inspection. I quickly thought of bringing the plate along, since I was hoping to assign it to the 750. I ended up leaving the plate in the garage.
I rode the 750 over to the MVD, stood in line for five minutes and waited about 20 more for my number to be called. The woman at the window said it would be no trouble to transfer the plate, but that she needed the corpus delecti in order to complete the task. So back I went home. I like the DMV here because they will offer a "pass" so you can bypass the line once you've waited so long for your number to be called.
When I returned, I walked up to the next available clerk. Once we were outside standing next to the bike, he told me that the lack of a visible engine number was not a problem since he had two locations for the VIN on the frame. While the plate was being assigned to the 750, I said hi to Jane of the North Valley who scored me three sequential license plates and tried the dickens to get me a fourth (I cleaned her out that day). Regardless, I now have a sequence of license plates (P84419 through P84421) on my Italian "Red Fleet." Perfect for photographing. And now I have a Desmo and a spare, all legit and ready for a motorcycle-licensed friend to come riding.
