New Toy bought and plated in one day

CoSnipe · 05-08-2006, 05:13 PM

I had to work in eagle friday,saturday and sunday to get today off just so I had enough time to get everything done.

Went to Colorado powersports this morning,got there at 8:30 asked them for the bike I wanted. Checked it over ,b.s.ed with the salesman for 20 minutes or so about it. Got the paperwork rollin and was out the door by 10am with this:

I promptly took it home,unloaded it and drove to my insurance company. Insured it for the street. Sped to the dmv and got that ball rollin, which was promptly haulted by the words "This vin verification form is old, they needed to fill this one out"

So off to the dealer again to get the right crap which has to be 25 to 30 miles away and got the right paperwork filled out. Back to the DMV and this time.........SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!...WOOHOO!!!

Rushed back home and threw the brake light swith on, hand guards on, and my new plate on and Im good to go....Awsome feelin jumpin through hoops to come out triumphant.

BTW I'll be posting this bike up for sale in the flea market forum soon,
$3500 OBO:

Nice! I titled my first dirt bike last year and was surprised by how easy it was in Colorado.

What are you going to use for a horn? I was looking at small battery operated ones a while ago but couldn't find something local.

Congrats!

I have yet to figure out a kit. I wanted to make sure I could plate it first.

It looks like those nobbies are about to rut your Zoysia? What were you thinking? Shoulda mowed the Zoysia first, now wifey is gonna RIDE YOU until you get it done! AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THE BIKE!

Congrats, sound just like me when I got my "other type" of bike.

Yes considering other states it would be problematic, I was surprised how not stressful it was. Took a little time,4-5 hours total. But well worth the small effort

I can't see the pics

dirtrider · 05-10-2006, 09:01 AM

Did they have the bike sitting on the floor ready to run?

ie... Was the jetting richened, throttle stop shortened, grey wire to the CDI clipped, etc.... I only ask because the WR out of the crate is severly handicapped. It will barely run with an air cooled TTR250. After the above mentioned mods, the WR is a fantastic running bike.

Congrats on the new bike.

I have a Suzuki horn from an old 6volt 2stroke like a TS90 1972. I run it completely separate from the rest of the electrical system. It is powered by a 9volt regular smoke dector type battery. You can get one from a salvage place, but if the dealer has one on the shelf they should be willing to part with it for a real deal. Any Japanese 6volt horn should work. Take a battery with you to be sure. The battery lasts over a year on mine.

No None of the freebie mods done,i'll get to it when I get back into denver. I've been in Eagle for the last few days for work. I brought my bike up and have been breakin her in after my shifts. Lots and lots of great trails and jeep roads up here. An amazing variety,I almost dont want to go home......almost

At what point in the process did you produce proof of insurance?

You had an insurance card faxed to the dealer before you went to dmv?
