That's got me > wondering: what would be the potential problems trying to register that > bike in Maryland? here's the answer I got from MVA Dear MVA Customer, Thank you for your recent email inquiry. The answer to your question is as follows. If it is a NY Salvage TITLE, you will just bring the signed over title, lien release if applicable, bill of sale, MD inspection certificate and MD insurance information along with the attached VR-5 form. If you need a temp tag to have the inspection done, also bring the VR-129 attached. After the inspection, bring the inspection certificate, your temp registration and the attached VR-8 form back to MVA for your 2 year sticker. Fee will depend on type and weight of vehicle. If you have a NY Salvage CERTIFICATE, you must get the vehicle to a salvage inspector at a state police barracks or the garage at Glen Burnie MVA office to have it salvage inspected. When this is done, you will bring that signed Salvage Certificate and the above info. _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.

I started this morning in the rain and arrived to dear old Arlington as the snow fell. Lessons I learned. The manufacturers book is not always the bible. I have been running my tire pressures at 32 (rear) and 32 (front). Yesterday I jacked them up to factory recommended 36 (r) and 36 (front)...what a bumpy, un-feeling ride. For those interested the 2005 Moto GP review ( ordered from www.sportsflicks.com ) is 3 hours of the season highlights. Some spectacular footage. The only things that "fault" this DVD are the stupid and incessant animated cut scenes with a disembodied female voice asking.."Are you ready, boots?" and of course the fact that you get only the highlights of each race. Great purchase. Also coughed up for Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch. This is more of an all around review for good riding habits in the street and I was very glad to read it, because it reminded me of a lot of the behaviors that minimize risk while street riding. _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.

If you consider that in 387 days, giving benefit for all of 2005, he's racked up 3m + miles, that amounts to 7752 miles per day. Assuming he's not an Iron butt rider, Santa Claus, or Superman, this would have to be the fastest motorcycle in recorded history.
