The best riding season is right around the corner. Are you ready? The season so far has been mild one with the exception of last month's 90+ degree days. September and October are probably the two best months of the entire season with their favorable weather patterns and warm, but enjoyable days!

Here at Cycle Search going into late summer we are starting to stock more project bikes for the DIY riders out there. I know there are many people out there that do not understand the concept of the Salvage title motorcycle, so I thought that would be a good topic to touch on this month in our newsletter. Salvage by definition just means that the insurace company of the previous owner deemed it too expensive to rebuild the motorcycle versus it's value. This generally tends to be in the 20-30% of ACV(Actual Cash Value). An example would be if the the ACV was $5000 and the repairs were $1000-$1500. It would be considered a total. For those out there who have replaced a tank on a cruiser or plastic body work on a sportbike, I don't have to explain how quickly you could come to those numbers in a repair.

Generally what happens after the insurance company totals out the motorcycle is a trip to the auction block. From there we would bid against other dealers for the bike to resale. The only downside is the insurance companies do not provide the original estimates of damage or an explaination of what happened. After we get the motorcycle in our possesion, we start the testing process. Our mecahnics go through the bike from axle to axle in efforts to find the true condition of the bike. We go as far to remove and measure the forks and wheels to ensure trueness. After the motorcycle have been inspected it heads to the dyno. This is a step skipped by most dealers, but we have found it to be very helpful in finding a problem before it goes home with you. The dyno testing also allows us the ability to offer Engine and Transmission Protection on our salvage units. Now that the bike has been tested an inspected, we offer it up to you!

Now that you have the bike, what do you do with it? This is where most are a little confused. The state of Ohio has made it a very simple and streamlined process for getting the bike on the road. First, you need to goto the BMV and purcahse a Salvage Inspection reciept and call the inspection station of your choice to schedule your inpspection at a State Highway Patrol station. When rebuilding your motorcycle, make sure to keep all of your reciepts of parts that you use to rebuild the motorcycle along with the VIN number of the motorcycle your used parts came off of. They need the reciepts to show that you assembled the motorcycle not using stolen parts. The bike does not need to be perfect, but will at need to have all of the lights working correctly(if a turn signal is there it has to work, if not remove it), working speedometer, and at least one mirror. After the Highway Patrol has looked at the bike and your repairs, they will issue a reciept stating you passed the inspection. From there you can take your reciept into the BMV and trade in your Salvage title for a Rebuilt title and get tags like normal.

I hope this clears up a lot of the confusion about the rebuilding process of a Salvage motorcycle. Remember, this is just the process for Ohio. I hear bits and pieces about other state, but would rather not say anything that I have not personally experienced. If you have any more questions about the process, please do not hesitate to give me a call and I would be more than happy to help you out. We also do the Salvage Inspection as a service for only $150. Check out our website for some great deals and take advantage of the special below!


In an continuing effort to support safety in the motorcycling community, in the month of September we will be giving a helmet up to $100 in value or $100 credit toward a new helmet to every customer who purchases a motorcycle!
