My pleasure. Now I just need to send you my shipping address. Wait! You're not the one selling the Givi bags and hippo-hands? Errrm...well this is awkward

Just kidding...glad to help. We all need it once in a while.

Just words to the wise one of the RV boards is discussing the hijacking and theft of a man's new pickup truck on a road between Alamos and Los Mochis. This happened around January 6th on what was described as a 4-lane road so it's not totally back in the boondocks. This is, relatively speaking, the same general area where those motorcyclists were stopped and ran the road block between Alamos and El Fuerte a few months ago.

I just read in a RR that because both of our bikes are titled in my name, Mrs. Trip will not be able to get a vehicle permit to ride in Mexico. Is this correct? We just never bothered to change it because of the bureaucratic hellhole that is the RI DMV. It will take a while to get a new title...its gonna kill my trip

Say it ain't so, Joe!

RMO...I sent a few bucks your way as thanks for you guys helping out a noobian...

Yes it may be a show stopper. But if you are only riding Mexico, you will not need the official raised seal title. The registration and a valid plate are all you need as long as it is in her name or both names. Just present the registration with her DL and visa. Don't know about title requirements for countries south of here.

I'm guessing you are trailering the bikes. If you can't get the permanent docs right away can you have them mailed to someone near your border crossing point with some certainty that they will be there on time?

What happens when you buy a vehicle in RI? What ownership docs (registration) can you get right away? Do you get a temporary tag or a new plate? Can you find a sympathic clerk that can expedite things? Off the top of my head, can you find a state en-route where you can "sell" or give the bike to your wife and get new ownership papers and a plate in her name the same day? I know several states require an inspection and VIN verification on an out of state bike that could screw this up. Plus it could be ugly and involve additional ownership taxes. That's the limit of my straw grasping and thinking out loud on this one. Good luck

And make sure that the names on the ownership docs, Your DL and your passport match.

Uh oh. I don't think that's good.

Paging TricePilot and SR to the green courtesy phone... (Trice is kinda our expert on this stuff- but he's in Mexico. Maybe SR is around here somewhere...)

Thanks guys. I can probably get a new registration in her name. I know it takes at least 60 days for them to issue a new title. We are only going to Mexico, and trailering to Presidio. Have to take a field trip to the DMV. Never gave it any thought until I read that RR. Good thing I saw it!
