    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It is gone from mine. Doesn't make any real difference, because I'm not moving to California.

Perhaps we could find a few pristine stickers, take good photos of them, and get reproductions made.

Exactly what I was thinking. :idea:
As ridiculous as this is to be needed on something this old, what would it hurt?
That is why I tried to post what I could find, hoping that someone with the program on their computer could make reproductions.

I've got the program and can attempt repros but will need a photo of a better sticker.
 
Can't you combine the several pic's that I sent?
You don't want to make it look NEW do you? :confused:
That, would indeed be a hard "sell."

Just find a reasonable copy that applies to your bike, print it out, cut it to size, and use some packaging tape over the top and trim the edges.
Why wouldn't they accept that? it's a copy of the "original" sticker for that bike, they're not made to specify each individual bike like the one on the front of the frame head. You might want to use a silver, gray background, you can artificially age it by trowing a little dirt, scratch it,
etc. After you get it affixed, you can smear some dirt, oil or grease on it
to give that "been around the block" look.
 
Wow, I really like Maine after reading this thread. I registered by bike as an "antique". It requires no inspection and the yearly excise tax was $7.40.
 
In Arizona I went to a Registration and Title store front in a strip mall. $25 plus an extra $10 for the vintage plate and I was out the door with a new registration and title in 10 minutes. The OP story is one of the reasons I moved from California.....too much government.
 
Here in Saskatchewan Canada I went in to the ministry office with my bill of sale (one part of the registration paper) and walked out with insurance, plates, and a new registration for $48. Best part!?!?
I didn't even have a license!
AND $10 of that $48 was the cost of writing both my auto and moto license tests.

Out (up) here in the wild (north) west the government pretty much stays out of our business.

I say scan a sticker from something close, print it on label paper, slap it on the inside fender, call it done.
I think it's easier to register vehicles in foreign countries than CA, of course some consider CA to be a foreign land, much like NJ.
