When I moved from California, to PA with a spcn motorcycle that I built and registered in CA I got the response from the local PA inspectors that there was no way that PA would allow the spcn title from CA to PA to transfer. I mentioned that I thought it was a federal law and that the VIN that the PA inspectors were having difficulty with (yet was given the OK by CA) was going to have to be replaced with a PA VIN. It was my understanding at that time that the VIN was in the federal data base and tampering with would be a federal offense.

Well, I asked them to place the documention in the queue and see what happens. It was surprisingly easy and the paperwork came back from PA very quickly honoring the CA title and VIN.

I don't understand why CA would not honor a VIN and title that was legally issued from another state. Am I missing something?
