WooHoo! Finally got title and license!

After waiting over a month for the place I bought my GY200 to get their Ohio state dealers license, they finally sent me a properly filled out and notarized Certificate of Origin.
I spent the morning at the license branch and got the title and license plate.
It feels great!!!
BTW - on the way back I had a turn signal vibrate loose and the screws that hold the turn signal switch.
I got out the lok-tite!
(And I determined that my odometer is also KM even though the speedo is MPH).

Congrat's. Glad to hear everything worked out for you. I was like a little
kid again when I got mine titled and tagged.

I think i'm going to have to do the Oregon shuffle to get my bike plated here in Washington State, I bought mine from a guy seattle used with ony 30 miles on it. He got a title for it but it says off road use ony on it, so I have too sneak on to logging roads, or drive it in a truck to orv parks. I heard the state patrol was no longer inspecting off road bikes converted for on road use. I might be able to argue with dol that it came installed with all the necessary equipment, or that it is similar to a custom built chopper, in that it was a kit built motorcycle. Then they would want to see reciepts for the parts you used to build it, and all I have the title, so they will say "sorry, we don't inspect converssions". I should have just gotten a hooper import bike.....

My certificate of origin said it was a dirtbike. The lady at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles just changed it to a "motorcycle" in the system. It has a 17 digit VIN just like a real vehicle.

I don't know if they will do that out there or not.
