My family has been riding the trails of Florida for several years. With six bikes to keep up with mechanically and kids outgrowing gear annually, the last thing we needed to worry about was registration hassles. So when the state cracked down on ownership issues it put a hurting on us with a few of the vintage machines we ride. We started looking for more convienant areas(besides Crooms) to ride where we didn't get harassed about legalities. Even Ocala National Forest has been checking bikes from what I hear.
Well, while getting our boat title transferred yesterday I mentioned to the lady at the tag agency our predicament. She told me all I needed for the bikes older than 2002 was the vin# and to sign an affidavit that the bike was never titled before, pay a one-time $38.25, and a Title Validation sticker would be issued for that bike. I had 3 of the 4 vintage vin#'s in my wallet, so three down and one to go. Two of our bikes are later than 2002 so I have to bring the purchase paperwork from the dealer or a bill of sale.
We're free to ride Crooms once again! ...well, except for the park fees.
