Registration/Insurance Question: Please advise me!

[Moondog1]

So sometime this past fall/winter, I sold a motorcycle to a guy. I forgot to cancel my insurance, then I finally remembered about it and it's been such a hassle because they crap Progressive says you can't do it online or over the phone but it takes a written letter to the state? So my insurance ran out on it(it was about $125 for the year! That's why I just let it go). My question is, do I need to do anything? They told me to go to the DMV(i'm guessing tag office or DDS) and tell them I sold the bike because they reported my lapse in insurance? What do I need to do ya'll? I have the VIN but I don't know if I have the tag number or not that was on it. This is a real pain in the ass.

You'll need to go to the tag office and sign a form saying you sold it. You don't need the tag number, just your license.
It's a lot easier if, next time you sell a vehicle just remove the tag and turn it in so your drivers license doesn't get suspended.
Which is what will happen if you don't take care of it.

Or send a faxed copy of notice

This one instance where a bill of sale would possibly be helpful as supporting info. As soon as I sell a vehicle of any kind I go to the tag office and inform them then cancel the insurance.

I dropped liability insurance on a broke down car in December. I got a letter the other day from the gov....sold the car 2 weeks ago to a guy in Alabam....turned the tag in, they can go pound sand.

Thanks for the replies. I will try to get to the tag office before they close. This is a real pain but I guess it's better than having to go to DDS and wait for 4 hours.
