That is interesting! Your right, that number is no where close to what you have. Depending on how much trouble the DMV gives you, you can always get a new title from www.its-titles.com. I have used them before and they are fast.

Paul,
The registration has a VIN of 4786469. That's a long way from 50420. That's why I am puzzled. I've had the bike sitting in storage for almost 2 months, but never thought of comparing the paperwork to what's on the bike. It is going to be a pain to try to correct this.
After I get a license plate, the bike needs to be certified technically. Until this is done, the bike cannot be used on a public road. How does one get the bike to the certification place, one wonders? Well, you trailer it, or ride it there illegally. If it fails inspection, you need to get it fixed, then repeat the process. Once it is certified, you go back to the license office, and they re-issue the registration. Shouldn'd take me more than a full day. Thank God I have an understanding boss. However, if the numbers don't match, then....I'll let you guys know how this plays out.
