MOPED ARMY

the red lettering on that plate is a dead giveaway to a cop to pull you over. go to the dmv again and explain your predicament to them. hopefully they will fix it for you.

Well that blows. I've driven past a few cops and none have noticed/pulled me over.

How would I prove my predicament to the DMV? All the frame numbers/serial plate line up with the registration.

You can try calling the Technical Services dept. and maybe they'll have a suggestion: (518) 474-5282.

Have you received the transferable registration from Albany yet, or do you still just have the non-transferable one?

Is there any inspection required for your ATV registration?

They didn't give me any temporary inspection sticker, so I'm guessing no?

I haven't gotten the transferrable reg yet, just the one I got at the dmv. This all just happened a couple days ago, I just thought I was in the clear because I head ANY plate. Didn't realize they issued plates for vehicles that can't actually be on the road, seems counterintuitive!

When the first DMV looked it all up, he alerted me it was ATV, but I said what's the difference, and he never really answered my question so I thought it was fine.

And yet another classic NYSDMV screw-up. There's a big difference bewteen an ATV and a class C moped. You'll have to decide whether you want to take a chance and ride around on an improperly registered vehicle, or go back to the DMV that issued the plates and try to get it straightened out.

liz, if the dmv accepted your registration than that means it was already a transferable registration. that means that the registration you have is valid proof of ownership already. ride your bike to the dmv and explain to them the mixup, have them come outside and inspect the frame VIN number if they dont believe you. should be a simple change in the computer database and they will issue you a new plate.

when I registered my derbi recently they accidently registered it as a motorcycle "mcy" instead of a moped "mopd" on the registration. I went back and they changed it very easily and gave me a new registration. give it a shot.
