For almost 17 years red/green sticker has been the law of the land...  it's always some guy with 2 or 3 posts brings up this kind of pointless shit.  Then argues with the facts and disappointing news received for a few days...  before disappearing into the ether from whence he appeared.  ?

I said it and watched it happen...  ?  Like it always does.

More of my tough guy memes........

Hi, I'm looking to build a green sticker bike as my current bike is a red sticker and I want the option to ride year around.

 

I found some clean frames (no engine) out of state that have titles but I was wondering if it would be possible to legally register them here in CA...

 

I'm looking to build it from the ground up so I didn't want to pay for a "clean" example locally if I'm going to replace most parts anyway.

 

 

 

You need to provide some additional information.  From reading this thread it sounds like you are new to California and it's bullshit dirt bike registration laws.  In some areas, like the greater Sacramento area where a bunch of us live, a red stickered bike barely causes any restriction.  Those near the Bay Area or a lot of SoCal it's much more of an issue....unless you chance it and ride anyway.

Where do you intend to ride?

He plans to ride all the Bill P secret stuff cause he needs a custom built off topic green sticker bike to find and ride all the good stuff by making friends here at TT.

Guy's probably a looser.  He should take up kayaking.

Advice: don't bother with building your own kayak, buy a British Sea Kayak by Valley Kayaks.  best there is

Point made.  ?

I'm not even sure I want to deal with the hassle of restoring a 20 year old bike anymore knowing this is how it is in his state, I'll just drive the extra hour or so and hit the Forest areas and enjoy my evil red sticker bike.

Thanks anyway.
