Asking a big favour here, can anyone help out with providing a NM address ? My friend and I bought 2 new bikes from a dealer in Michigan and shipped them down to a friends in New Jersey where they are being stored until we arrive in June to Register and title them.

I have since discovered that this won't be possible in NJ or any State nearby as they are not 50 state legal models plus we have the non US resident issue to get around.

It seems that NM is our best hope, this will involve a flight there and back from NY to do it but reading through the NM DMV web site we don't need to show up with the bikes for any inspection and just need the bill of sale, MCO doc, insurance doc, proof of ID and 2 proofs of NM address (insurance doc to this address is good for 1 of these) rent book would do for the 2nd.

Obviously this is asking a lot and would be hugely appreciated, at the moment I can't see another option so would be greattful of any other suggestions too.

If we can get this done our plan is to set out from NY head down to Tennessee and pick up the TAT and ride all of it to Oregon then into Canada before heading back down to CA where we plan to re register them on CA plates and leave them with a friend there to sell for us.

Fingers and toes crossed someone here will help us out with this last bit to make it all happen.

I seem to recall reading posts here that it was easy to register bikes in Arizona as well, so you might want to check that option.

There are two Horizons Unlimited communities in New Mexico.
Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers' Community - Contact a Community!
Try to contact them rather than waiting to see if someone is reading the HUBB at the moment.
