The thing I hate about RI DMV is if you're trying to register something from out of state they require you to get a VIN check from the police. So I go to the police station for my Aprilia to get a check and they're like "we need the bike here so we can look at it with the title." I inform them that I can't register it or get a plate on it until the DMV has the form from THEM and they told me to just ride it down anyway. I had the Lieutenant come out and asked him that if I get in an accident from my house to the police station, would he personally guarantee that I wouldn't get in trouble for riding the bike there without a plate? He was like, "I'll send someone to your house to take a look at it."
