34 years ago, most of the states still used mostly paperwork, computers really didn't take off until the 80's. Remember, we're talking politicians spending $$$ on mew technology here, not logical thinkers!
The titles were paper, as were driver's licenses. I remember having to use microfiche, personal computers were kits, and the VCR was a Betamax.
I also know riders who were skilled enuf to forge new titles and licenses, but of course I don't know their names...<BG>
So it would have been easy to forge a new registration and sell the bike.
