Texas Registration

[DrSpeed]

Hey Y'all...<hehe> with the Texas theme.

I'm currently in Seattle...and found a sweet deal on an RC51. It's a theft recovery, so it's got a salvaged title.

If I register it in Texas, will the salvage title be carried over as well?

Or does it get *washed out* somehow....=)

thanks for the input.

what about lane splitting?

I know it's legal in CA, and NOT legal here in Washington state.

What about TX? Can we lane split there?

Good question, I seem to recall some pending legislation in Washington and Texas that would legalize lane splitting.

Would need to dig around for it though.

a salvage title cannot be removed from a vehicle, unless you switch out the frame (or body on a car) and then it's a different vehicle anyway.

salvage titles mean nothing unless you are trying to sell for it's value.

I have a 1967 mustang coupe, it had 72,000 ORIGINAL miles, NO RUST WHATSOEVER, and the previious owner had kept the car in really good shape. it was stolen and recovered with no damage in 1975, so it has a salvage title, and I picked it up for $2700, instead of the $15,000 it would have been with a clean title.
I'll never sell it, so for me I get a cherry, low milage classic car, for about what you'd pay for a rust bucket.

same thing for a bike, do some research (all DMV's keep records of WHY the salvage was placed on the vehicle) see what happened, then decide if you want it.
if you are going to keep the bike (or retire it to a track bike when the time comes) or ride it for 13 years, then you certainly get your monies worth.

but you cannot "launder" a salvage title, by changing states. (maybe countries, though)
