Hello and options / opinions please
Hi,
My friend and I are looking at doing a coast to coast (probably California to Florida), in Sept 2013. We are thinking of only a three to four week trip (work sadly), and really don't want to pay the high $$$ for rental. So we are thinking buy a bike, use it, and drop off in shop in Florida on arrival for them to sell on commission.
Having read through a number of forums and DMV etc I think the choices are:
1. Buy bike privately and sort out registration on arrival.
2. Buy bike privately and get owner to add me to the pink slip, signing away rights.
3. Buy from a shop, and try to get them to register it for us.
4. Arrive and try and buy bike / register in the first few days of being there. Given the relatively short trip I would prefer to have bikes sorted and 'waiting' for us if possible.
I have read of temporary plates to move bike from one state to another, but don't know much about that. We will also likely have just hotel addresses to use.
I know its a way away at the moment, but any advice suggestions greatly appreciated... Many thanks in advance
