giovanni 125cc dirt bike

[renegade800]

Hi , I am from Nova Scotia, Canada, and have a giovanni 125 cc dirt/ pit bike, and was wondering if anyone else from Can. has registered and insured or tried to register and insure these bikes?

[phil]

i know little of canada laws but is that to ride on the road? sorry i dont understand things are so diffrent up north, gun laws, football fields , quarts please explain (just what the part with the bike ill never get the rest) :lol:

Do you need to register to ride off-road? Insurance should be easy. Usually insurance just care if they get the check or not. It probably has a VIN on the steering tube of the frame.

Is off-road registration mandatory in Nova Scotia? It's not in BC (but I wish it was).

Phil, defensive weapons are ok (shotguns, rifles), football fields are longer and we only have three downs to cover them and a quart is about two litres. :lol: Also, a pack of cigarettes costs $9.00 in Canada, but a heart transplant is free. Ohhhh, Canada....

Why do you wish it were mandatory?
It is on Ontario, and I certainly wish it weren't.
You can't ride your offroad bike on any public land without a plate, and insurance.

A quart is .95 liters, and 2 mins from my house, I can buy smokes from $1-$3 a pack. I wish I smoked, I'd be saving all kinds of money :lol:

renegade, I don't know your laws in NS, but I don't think you'll be able to plate the Gio.

Phil, it is for offroad, I actually got charged for not having registration about 2 weeks ago and since than been to registry of motor vechiles trying to register it but i need a signed bill of sale with the companys hst #,and been trying to get that from the company i got the bike from, i have all other documents that i need , i guess so far.

Have you contacted giovanni themselves? Maybe they can assist.

Nothing needed here to ride off-road. The only good thing I see about the registration is it gives proof of ownership.

You're right, of course. I was thinking that a litre is roughly the same as a pint. My bad.

I wish that registration was mandatory, because it helps to protect the buyer from buying a hot bike. I bought an XR250 last year, and the only thing I had to go on was the guy's word that he bought it new. Registration has been mandatory in Alberta for over 25 years, and it is a good system.

You're right.
The registration I can live with.
Its the insurance I have a problem with.

Katoranger, thats what i am waiting on now , read the post before your last one. He said i could print the bill of sale in about 1 week from last wednesday, they were doing something to their computer system. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

looking at it both ways i can see that its a little more trouble but after a little reflection i might like the idea (sorry about the ticket) but it would cut down on stolen bikes my state has been trying to make you title atvs and after my break in at the shop i understand better, they need more taxes 8O

[katoranger]

Sorry, misunderstood. I thought you were referring to a dealer and not giovanni themselves.

Sounds like you are on the right track.


My Dad told me yesterday that he saw an ATV in Sioux Falls, SD with a tag on it. It had street tires, signals, mirrors.

In the state of SD you can tag an atv and ride it on the street.

You can also ride an ATV on the streets of Montana. I know a fellow who just moved to Idaho from Montana. He has a Polaris 500cc ATV; it has a Montana license plate mounted on the rear. :)

it's been 1 week since they told me i could get the info i needed and still nothing, but i'm digging deeper

[suprf1y]

If its Gio you're dealing with, in BC, be patient, he is a very busy guy.
If he said he would do it, I would believe him.

[renegade800]

Yup thats the guy, he has answered me everytime so far, maybe i'm just bugging too much.

[renegade800]

and wayyyy tooo impatient haha
