Texas will recognize the VT [or NY] registration, I have done it a few times.
It always leaves them scratching their head, but once they look at the "big book" and/or call their supervisor, it has not failed me.

New York started doing titles in 73, 72 and prior have registration and they have to say transferable on them..

If it's 73 or later in New York it's not worth the hassle to try and tittle a bike,,it's just a parts bike or find a titled frame ..

If its 72 and before just pencil the engine vin and headstock vin and claim ownership for at least one year, provide proof of insurance and you walk out with a temporary registration and plates and receive transferable one in the mail in about six weeks ..

I never heard of a another state not accepting a New York paper work...

Hey Ron, you could always ride with Carlos over in São Paulo - Brazil That'd be pretty far from CA I'd say.

I tried the Maine trailer tag with an old boat trailer once, here in Maryland. A Maine trailer tag is like a Vermont cycle tag...you can get one with bill of sale only if its old enough. Maryland absolutely would NOT convert the maine registration to a Maryland ANYTHING though. I got harassed all the time by police officers passing by when the boat was parked on my tow vehicle. Never had a problem out on the road actually towing it though.

Ive been tempted to get a Vermont tag for one of my old bikes, but the police here would have a field day with that one.

Ron, just another aspect of bikes that you may want to take into consideration, which is the old non-changing red lights that we all sit and wait to change, but seldom do (from http://motorbikewriter.com/why-dont-traffic-lights-change-for-motorcycles/):

US states with safe-on-red laws:
◾Arkansas – (2005) allows a motorcyclist to proceed with caution, after coming to a full and complete stop, through a red light that fails to detect the bike. (Arkansas Code section 27-52-206)
◾Idaho – (2006) If a signal fails to operate after one cycle of the traffic light that a motorcyclist may proceed, using due caution and care, after coming to a full and complete stop at the intersection. (Statute 49-802)
◾Illinois – (2012) Permits a driver of a motorcycles or bicycle facing a red light that fails to change within a reasonable period of time of not less than 120 seconds to proceed after yielding the right-of-way to any oncoming traffic. However, this law doesn’t apply to municipalities of over 2,000,000 people – such as Chicago. (625 ILCS 5/11-306)
◾Minnesota – (2002) A person operating a bicycle or motorcycle who runs a red light has an affirmative defense if the driver first came to a complete stop, the traffic light stayed red for an unreasonable amount of time and appeared not to detect the vehicle and no motor vehicles or people were approaching the street. (Statute 169.06)
◾Missouri – (2009) State law tells both motorcyclists and bicyclists that run red lights that they have an affirmative defense if they brought their vehicle to a complete stop, the light was red for an unreasonable time period, and there were no motor vehicle or person approaching. (Statute 304.285)
◾Nevada – (2013) Those using motorcycles, bicycles, mopeds, and tri-mobiles are allowed to proceed through an intersection with a red light after waiting for two traffic light cycles, and they yield to other vehicle traffic or pedestrians. (Statute 484B.307)
◾North Carolina – (2007) Motorcyclists are permitted to move cautiously through a steady red light after coming to a complete stop and waiting a minimum of three minutes and if no other vehicle or pedestrians are approaching the intersection. (NCGS 20-158)
◾Oklahoma – (2010) Motorcycles can proceed cautiously through a steady red light intersection after a making a complete stop and if no other motor vehicle or person is approaching the roadway. (Statute 47-11-202)
◾South Carolina – (2008) After making a complete stop and waiting for a minimum of 120 seconds, the driver of a motorcycle, moped, or bicycle may treat a steady red light that doesn’t change as a stop sign and proceed with caution. (S.C. Code 56-5-970)
◾Tennessee – (2003) After coming to a complete stop, motorcyclists and bicyclists may proceed through a steady red light when it is safe to do so. (Tennessee Traffic Control Signals 55-8-110)
◾Virginia – (2011) Drivers of motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles may move with caution through non-responsive red lights as long as they yield the right-of-way to others approaching the intersection, and have come to a complete stop for two complete light cycles or 120 seconds, whichever is shorter.(Statute 46-2-833)
◾Wisconsin – (2006) A motorcycle, moped or bicycle is permitted to run a steady red light after making a complete stop and waiting at least 45 seconds and then yields the right–of-way to any vehicular traffic or pedestrians using the intersection. (Statute 346.37)
