http://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/nr083109.htm Release 09-74 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 31, 2009 Gennet Paauwe (916) 322-2990 www.arb.ca.gov South state motorcycle dealers pay $180,000 in
penalties Illegal sales put public health and safety at risk SACRAMENTO -- The California Air Resources Board last
month fined two San Diego-area motorcycle dealers $180,000
for illegal sales. In 2006, ARB enforcement officers got an anonymous tip
that San Diego-based GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza of
Escondido, Calif., were illegally selling Husqvarna off-road
motorcycles as on-road models. ARB investigators confirmed
the allegations and took action. "Companies that deliberately flout the law are often
assessed higher penalties," said ARB Chairman Mary D.
Nichols. "Playing by the rules from the start is the most
cost-effective, smart business plan any company can
follow." GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza sold several dozen off-road
motorcycles to customers who thought they were purchasing
on-road models. Many of the bikes were outfitted with
so-called "street-legal" kits and licensed for on-road use,
both illegal in California. ARB revoked all the on-road licenses and registrations
for the illegal bikes sold by GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza.
The motorcycle owners were permitted to return their license
plates to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles for the appropriate
off-road riding stickers and plates. Off-highway vehicles do not meet federal motor vehicle
safety standards -- or ARB's emission standards -- required
of on-road motorcycles. There are no street-legal kits or
conversions that make an off-road motorcycle legal for
on-road use or registration. A motorcycle is either
certified by ARB for on-road use or off-road use. California's air pollution control efforts include
regulating emissions from cars, trucks, buses and
motorcycles. Smog can damage lungs, cause coughing and chest
tightness, and worsen asthma symptoms while also affecting
crop yields. The Air Resources Board is a department of the California
Environmental Protection Agency. ARB's mission is to promote
and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources
through effective reduction of air pollutants while
recognizing and considering effects on the economy. The ARB
oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to
attain and maintain health based air quality standards. The energy challenge facing California is real. Every
Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy
consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand
and cut your energy cost, see our web site at

If you have a bike that is a true green sticker bike you

off-highway motorcycle
owners that converted those models to street legal status
since february 1, 2004, may lose their license plates. For those California
residents interested in owning a street legal motorcycle
that performs well off-road, there are several good options.
Until now, there have been few options for those
buyers, DMV registration
procedures pertaining to off-highway motorcycle conversions
can be viewed at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/advs/advs319.pdf
Updated on 08-06
BAKERSFIELD, CA (August 21, 2006.) The California Air
Resources Board (ARB) recently became aware of the fact that
some off-highway motorcycles may have
been inappropriately converted to street legal registration
by the Department of Motor Vehicles since new policies
banning that practice were adopted in 2004.
In mid 2003, new policies were issued by the Department of
Motor Vehicles that blocked owner or dealer conversions
of
off-highway motorcycles. This was in response to ARB
requirements that all street legal motorcycles must be
certified by ARB that they meet street legal motorcycle
emission standards.
DMV policies had historically allowed conversions after
appropriate lighting and safety equipment was installed, but
those policies had not been updated to reflect newer
ARB regulations adopted subsequent to the DMV policy
development. After
discussions among ORBA, the American Motorcyclist
Association (AMA), DMV and ARB, a delayed implementation of
the new policy until
1-31-04 was adopted, allowing owners who had already
purchased or ordered
motorcycles in good faith with the intent to utilize the
existing DMV policy to complete the conversion to street
legal status.
After 1-31-04, no off-highway motorcycles were supposed to
be converted and registered by DMV.
Currently, DMV and ARB are
auditing DMV records to determine if off-highway motorcycles
have been converted to street legal status inappropriately
since the 1-31-04 cut-off date.
Preliminary indications are that some motorcycles may have
been inappropriately converted, and a more detailed audit is
underway to determine if that is the case and if so,
how many of them were done, and to whom they belong. Owners
of any off-highway motorcycles that are determined to be
inappropriately converted will be contacted by DMV by
mail,
informed their street legal license plates are no longer
valid, and offered the opportunity to register the bikes as
off-highway motorcycles.
The only motorcycles that are allowed to be street
registered are models that are certified by ARB as meeting
highway emission standards,
those converted previous to the 1-31-04 deadline and
motorcycles of model year 1977 and older. Anyone who
converted their off-highway motorcycles to street legal
status prior to the 1-31-04 date will not be affected, and
their current status will not change.
and even those were not as desirable to some buyers as
converting a lighter, higher performance off-highway
motorcycle. Fortunately, a few manufacturers have responded
by producing
dual sport bikes that perform well off-highway and are
lighter than traditional dual sport models. It is expected
that other companies may follow this trend.

GOOD NEWS
Updated on 09-08-03
BAD NEWS
A bulletin is stating the following: Any and all
green sticker off road
motorcycles which show a purchase date of January
1, 2004
or earlier can register their off road motorcycles
for dual sport use. Paperwork to start the
DS registration process must be started by February
1, 2004.
Detailed information regarding this statement will
be available as soon as we know more.
Remember that most green sticker (cali bikes) bikes
can become
DS legal for under $200 + registeration fees etc
etc
Alternative #1
Buy a bike or register your current bike in the
next closet state that allows DS conversions.
Alternative #2
Most neighboring states allow the DS conversion
of dirt bikes. (yea)
Alternative #3
You are required by California state law to
register your bike in California when the vehicle
has been in the state for over 20 days.
Here is the trick or alternative
Add a 2nd name (or use your middle name or the
initial IE: Elvis Aaron Presley or A. Presley get
it )
to the title when you title the vehicle. And then
use that person as the lien holder or owner and you
are the add on like a kid when they turn 16! hint
hint.
Additional reason for having your name on the
reg.
The bike could be stolen and you could just be
saying that the bike is yours.!
Then you are unlikely to get the over 20 days in
California get it registered ticket and hassle by
the bronze.
V.C. 4152.5 Out of state vehicle in CA within 20
days
If you do get pulled over just tell the officer
real nice that theWR 450F-E that your riding is
your granny's and that she rides it most of the
time or is the
lien holder on the bike and that she owns it for 50
more payments and visits you often and is letting
you ride it this weekend!!!
That is your 2nd name on the title.
Of course your wife, sister, brother etc can help
you with the same thing Get It!!
When you have the additional name on the title then
you are not obligated to have it registered in that
state until its paid off or
if its really your brothers bike then he is coming
to get it soon from you. He was just nice and put
you on the reg so you could borrow very often!!
Alternative #4
Buy a bike out of state and register it there
and leave it registered there with a dual sport kit
on it from that state?

You MUST Have the section on the registration that
says Body Type filled out perfect.
Did I Say that it must be filled Perfect!!
Very Important if you want a plate and a green
sticker.
Example Body Type = MC
Body Type = MX = NO GOOD
Then this will alert the DMV that you have a Red
Sticker dirt bike and or no chance of getting a
green sticker and a plate.
Even if you register your bike in Vermont or
another state,
there is VERY GOOD chance that when you bring the
bike back into California (if you try this) that
you will not be able to get a plate and or a green
sticker.
It looks like you may not be able to dual
register your bike if it is not a Cali EPA
model.
What this means is if your bike gets a red
sticker or has a 3 or a C in the 8th digit of
the
VIN number you may be out of luck to get the old
plate for your bike.
Alternative
#1
Go To The VERMONT
PAGE IF
YOU WANT TO GET A LEGAL PLATE (title the bike from
out of state) ON YOUR
Honda CRF, Suzuki DRZ, Yamaha YZF/WRF, KTM non G
models, ATK, CCM, Gas-Gas, TM, VOR & red
sticker motorcycle.
Alternative #2
Canadian Model Bikes usually do not have the 3 or
the C in the 8 digit of the VIN number
Some dealers in the US have these bikes for
sale.
Check the VIN number very carefully before
buying!!
Alternative/Helpful Hint #3
When you register your bike in Vermont or another
state other than California (IE: 3 or C in the 8th
digit of the vin machine)
and ride the bike most of the time in California
then you could be ticketed by police.
You are required by California state law to
register the bike in California when the vehicle
has been in the state for over 20 days.
Here is the alternative
Add a 2nd name to the title when you title the
vehicle. And then use that person as the lien
holder or owner and you are the add on like a kid
when they turn 16! hint hint.
Additional reason for having your name on the
reg.
The bike could be stolen and you could just be
saying that the bike is yours.!
Then you are unlikely to get the over 20 days in
California get it registered ticket and hassle by
the bronze.
If you do get pulled over just tell the officer
real nice that theWR 450F-E that your riding is
your granny's and that she rides it most of the
time or is the lien holder on the bike and that she
owns it for 50 more payments and visits you often
and is letting you ride it this weekend!!!
That is your 2nd name on the title.
Of course your wife, sister, brother etc can help
you with the same thing Get It!!
When you have the additional name on the title then
you are not obligated to have it registered in that
state until its paid off or if its really your
brothers bike then he is coming to get it soon from
you. He was just nice and put you on the reg so you
could borrow very often!!
Additional info check
the vermont website for more info.
If all else fails
Try the state nearest to you that allows conversions.
You might want to register the machine in your relatives
name IE:
brother, sister, mother, father, uncle, aunt or better your
middle name. If you use your first name (John Smith) aka
( John Anthony Smith) vs (Tony Smith)
If you get pulled over by the bronze* in your home state and
your are carrying a dl* from the same state. And the
machine you are riding is
registered in a different state and your full name is on the
reg* and you own it, then it could get ugly. IE:
California requires that after you and or the vehicle has
been in the state for 20 days it is required that you
register hte vehicle and or get adrivers license in that
state asap.
IE:-Example: You do not want to register the machine in your
full name if you are living in california and have the bike
registered in arizona.
The VERMONT
State route for regestering your machine is not the
super easy way that it was at one time ( easy vermont
regestration time was 2004 thru 2007 appx).
You still might be able to use the vermont route but there
are restrictions that you will need to be aware of.
If your machine does not say for off road use only on it you
might still be able to go the vermont route, might be able
to is the key word.
The purpose of this state page is to help you the customer
in your decision on what parts you need for your
mototcycle.
I would hope if you use this page that you will try to
purchase products from AHM that will help plate your
machine.
Thanks,
A.H. MacLaughlin
till you make sure of the regulations in your home state,
that you can get a license plate for that bike!!
