Come to think of it I was transfering the bike's title in from Pennsylvania and registering it in Florida. I also had to transfer the title of an old Ducati and needed to bring that bike in to the DMV on a trailer. Call the DMV and ask what they need, I'm just letting you know what I went through with my bikes.

How come they don't make us bring automobiles in so they can compare vins but require motorcycles to? Its truly impossible to speak to someone at the dmv. I remembered I tried to call them to ask how much it was to renew a DL and I didn't get an option to speak to a live person.

I guess I will just go in there and ask them in person.

Well I guess that they were busting my stones pretty hard. They were concerned that the bikes or titles were stolen, at least that was the line they used. I can't remember if they pulled the same sh!t with the car or not. If you are going for a driver licence renewal don't forget you pass port and original birth certificate, they are getting tough over at the Florida DMV. Angry

They actually require two of the following: passport/birth certificate/social security card AND two pieces of mail showing your address. FL DMV sucks. Their always packed and you can never talk to anyone over the phone Angry

In February 2008 I walked into the DMV in Clearwater, 29399 Hwy 19 North, with the bill of sale and the title signed over to me. Took a number. Was called in less than 20 minutes. Provided my FL license as proof of residency and motorcycle certification. Showed my paperwork. Paid the bill and was out in less than 45 minutes with tag. I don’t even live in Pinellas County, I’m on the other side of the state. Everybody that I came in contact with was courteous, professional, and darn right nice.

The only thing I did was go to the http://www.flhsmv.gov/offices/pinellas.html before I went to educate and prepare myself.

i got my bike titled in manatee county just under you and turns out my 1997 savage has a 1982 gs650 title. not whats weird is my bike has the vin matching the title to the gs650 on it but yet still has suzukis stickers saying 1997. The dmv didnt care and went ahead and gave me a title without looking at the bike, and im 19 so i have to wear a helmet and have the white and red tag but if you have insurance and are over 21 then it doesnt matter.but they did nt ask if i had insurance or antyhing. they didnt even look to see of my liscnece has motorcycle on it!

Since the title don't match the bike, they'll weasel out of it.
