Jst2fst Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Welcome to OR! Yes you need to keep a copy of your registration with the bike the bmv gives you two copies keep the one without your home address in the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have never had one on the bike and it has never been an issue. Lord knows Ive been pulled over enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just keep my reg and ins in my wallet. I've always got it with me that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 You only really need the registration if it is in someone else's name I think. When I got pulled over a few months ago the cop asked me for it but I had to get it from under the seat so the guy asked if the bike was in my name because it will show up in my record if it is and he wouldn't need the paper.

snot Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Welcome... i keep mine in with the tool kit under the seat. I guess it would depend on the officer but i think you are supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 last few times ive been stopped they havent even asked for it. they can see who the vehicle is registered to when they run the plate, so i would think if its in your name and you have your license with you, then you wouldnt need it. last 2-3 times they have only asked me for my license and proof of insurance....and now that i think back, i dont remember if ive ever been asked for my registration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 well I'm glad I had mine on me a few years ago. a got pulled over because my plate came back to a stolen bike. they were going to tow it if i didn't have the registration proving the vin and tag were in fact registered to me.

magley64 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 registration not required if it's registered to you...if you let someone borrow it, they would be wise to carry a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I keep the registration and insurance card in a ziplock bag under the seat. That reminds me, I need to make sure that it's a current insurance card in there, I don't remember ever switching it out when it renewed!
