Help! Bought bike in NYC-can't get intransit permit
I came down here to NYC to buy a 94 BMW I wanted, made the deal, got the letter of insurance faxed down to the DMV here, went to see them this morning with all the documents...they told me they do not issue intransit permits for motorcycles, no policy...it is just not done.
What can I do short of trucking it north at great expense or registering it in NY and insuring it at great expense for two days travel home...
then there is the border issue, if I just show up without an intransit permit will they go nuts? Seller left the plate on the bike so theoretically I can get up to border crossing point at Calais, ME but what will they say to me there with someone elses plate on it. Surely they would take the plate at the border which leaves me ...where? Anyone ever see this before?
Any insights appreciated.
