The nice lady at the DMV wouldn't process the application for Title, based on the original NYS title, because the bike was 1974 or older.
I needed to get "pictures" or a VIN "rub" to send to Albany to confirm the authenticity of the bike...
I pointed out that the website says '72 or older, but apparently that didn't fly that afternoon....
so I took a picture, but could'nt get a "rubbing"....
I'll just keep rubbing....
