Tom. Good point. However, any new endeavor demands a cost benefit analysis. Much like the decision to buy a vehicle. A bit of August ’07 was spent researching how to secure a temporary title for a TX prefire. What a temp title would cost, VIN number check, insurance for a second bike, getting full coverage the day I took possession, etc. I see your point. I could have been polite and used the word ‘Lazy’. Take purchasing a car. One better do some homework on cost to insure to name but one of many costs. Likewise a true cost to rebuild is how to prepare for the DMV. The VIN requirement in Michigan should be something one would know by making a few phone calls, part of the ‘to rebuild or not rebuild question’, not some obscure requirement buried in small print on line 3,432. That said, unfortunately, one can never be truly prepared for a DMV encounter, as their left hand knows not what the right hand is fondling. DMV: the epitome of double talk and catch22s.
