Rode my 1989 Honda RC-31 at California Superbike School. Took some new 2009 Honda CBR1000RRs and Yamaha R1s to school. Corner helpers were high fiving me as I got off the track, haha.

My personally ride report for the day....

Got out my 91 tomos today and went to pedal it across my yard (like i do everytime) and the right pedal fell off.... :shock:

So im like, 'no big deal, ill just put it back on'. Then i realized the treads where all stripped out. Took me a while to realize it but it had been stripped out before. Someone before had this problem and welded it back together.

So, i dug out the SPATA! and used the pedal arm/pedal off it. I threw some black paint on it so it matches the other side. I used both the SPARTA pedals on it.

Luckly bicycle pedals will work for this. However im having a hard time finding some i like.

I'm assuming those are all just parts bikes with no hope of getting papers?

I easily see $70 worth of parts on ebay, way more if you sold it all off.

If those frames had papers they would probably be 400+ each even in that condition, at least out here :P

Nice score.

Dude, do it. I can guarantee that they'll be legal on the islands. I had my uncle in Michigan get papers on my Aero (I'm sending him the VIN for my new Spree soon) and I waltzed over to the Ohio BMV where they're really strict (mopeds=motorcycles) and all they had to do was examine the VIN, no safety check, then approve the VIN, I had to buy the title and pay applicable sales tax. It cost me like 8 dollars and then I got it registered for like another hundred and everything. It took a while to drive around, but totally worth it.

Before I did this I talked to my brother who's a lawyer* about the legality of this. He said as long as I "sell" it to my uncle then "buy" it back with the title from MI it's totally cool and by law one state's papers are good in every other state. A state shouldn't be able to deny your papers simply because they're from outside of its borders. However, you could always get some * at the Bureau who won't help you out. :?

So as long as those VINs don't come up stolen or salvaged or something you should be good to go and make mass profit. You could always have a Hawaii member call the local registration office to make sure for you.

*In the spirit of full disclosure: my brother does not deal specifically in property law, and is not registered to work as legal council in Ohio, Michigan or Hawaii. :D
