When i bought my bike in california, I had the owner notarize the title and send it to me C.O.D then I had it transferred here. Flew out to california with my PA license plate and rode the bike home. ---

When I went to OH to get my car I just put the plate off of my Subaru on it. If you get caught, there is a 10 day grace period in WV where you can drive the car without registration after you buy it. Just make sure you have the title. ---
