Tools is correct:  I just checked the numbers, and they do NOT match up.  She went outside, copied the numbers, came back inside the office, and registered it.  I still don't know why they would care, unless they track it with regards to odometer accuracy?  I guess I would want to know if the mileage were a true representation as to the life-expectancy on the bike, and motor?  My truck's odometer reads 47k , but I know the engine was overhauled, around 20k miles ago, so it likely has 147k miles on the body...


Minnesota must have a database with previously registered engine and frame numbers?  I never checked them before now -- I just shrugged my shoulders, six years ago, and let her do her thing.  She never said anything more, except to ask me for the money.  Obviously there wasn't an issue with my bike, as it sailed through the State's title office.  I just took her comments at face value, assuming both numbers were the same.

Thanks for correcting me, Tools.  I learned something here, having had a 6-year assumption clarified with the facts.  Cheers!
