Transporting Your Motorcycle(s) - Universal Thread.

[juscallmelarry]

Ok this was all about old bikes and moving from one state to another..
My question is that, what if we buy a bike from different state and move to your state.
Eg buying from Delhi and Bringing to Dehradun, at the same day.

Do i need to pay road tax according to Delhi ?
Do we need a temporary number to move from one state to another or only Applied For will be enough.

I know we can register here if we have the form number xx(dont remember).
But what about taxes and other charges?

[Abhijeet Bhattacharjee]

what is the expiry period of NOC?

45 days with no fine, 75 days with 25% fine else you'll end up paying 100% fine

[sandeepcf]

what is the expiry period of NOC?

[Abhijeet Bhattacharjee]

Hi All,

I have taken my bike from Pune to B'lore. I have the NOC from my previous state RTO. What should I do next in Blore.
1. Should I only go for paying Road Tax(LTT), will that be enough?? I do not need to change my number then and any other registartion for Karnataka.
2.Go for a complete registration, number change, LTT etc in for Karnataka..

I would prefer the easiest way(I mean the less time and money consuming way).

Please help me with the process of this...

Thanks a lot

1. you'll have to pay lifetime tax (if already paid, ignore)
2. change address (form 33)
3. register your bike (form 20)

2+3 will cost you 7% of the price of your bike + Rs. 320 + bribe (if any), tax depends on how old ur bike is...

Transporting FZ 16 by multi-axle volvo

hello all,
I wish to transfer my KL registered Fz 16 to Chennai by multi axle-volvo.... Is it safe? Please suggest some tips to keep the bike safe within the transport. The agent has told that the bike just needs to be put on center-stand inside the luggage compartment and all I have to to do is to remove the mirrors and empty the tank....

Any other things required?

Bike lost!

Had a very painful,annoying,irritating and saddening railways journey of my life yesterday!

Two months back I rode my bike all the way to Dehradun from Noida(~250km).It took me 5-odd hours to reach there.Dehradun is my home-town and as I was there for the summer internship and vacation my parents didn't scold me much!

Come yesterday,I have to take my bike back to Noida from Dehradun.I could definitely ride back but my dad won't agree because a).It's raining constantly and b).The 'Kaavad' Menace is all over the places! Delhi-Haridwar route is almost closed.If I were to ride the bike back I had to take the long route from Dehradun-Paonta Sahib-Karnal-Panipat-Delhi.It was just a 70-80km more than the usual route but I had no idea of this road as I would have been riding the first time there.

Usually,I don't listen to my parents' biking advices! But this time they made a lot more sense than usual.I decided to board a train and take the bike along as a luggage.As past experiences of motorcycle transfer from railways have been pretty good,I reserved a ticket in 'tatkal' (urgent) class and went for it.That was definitely one of the biggest mistakes of my life as yet for sure!

After packing the bike and doing the needful I successfully managed to load the bike into the train.Chamber was closed in front of my eyes and now I wait for the Nizamuddin Railway Station,New Delhi where I unload my bike.I was warned by the station master to be there at the time of unloading otherwise the bike will go along with the train( It was loaded in Dehradun-Mumbai Express,train halts in Nizamuddin for 1 hour and I had to unload my bike during this time only).As soon as I reached Nizamuddin I rushed towards the Luggage boggy.It was still all sealed and no 'babu' was to be found nearby.After almost 15-20 minutes an official arrives to take the luggage out.He had a labor along.The labor tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.I had called two of friends for help earlier so they were there as well.All four of us tried but it didn't move even by a centimeter.To this the labor concludes that the door is locked from inside.That means,the door from the track-side is opened! Can you believe this? So many retards working in our country! The door from Platform side is closed whereas from the track side it's open.Suicidal!

After the door was forced open,I get a sight of the upcoming disaster! The boggy was loaded to the gills with mangoes,vegetables and lots and lots and LOTS of rubbish! My bike was not at all visible .After a few minutes of inspection I find one of the tires.I mean,I get a sight of it between tonnes of rubbish! I don't know how much of it is left now!

The official refused to take the bike out as they would have to unload the whole chamber.We fought hard with the officials and then the other two Railways chiefs on this.They were like f***ing helpless morons! As if they don't know anything about railways.They were zero-percent co-operative throughout.Everyone of them blamed me for loading the bike on that train. Amidst all this fight,the train starts chuk-chuk and moves.The compartment is still open! It disappears in a few seconds and nobody does anything.

Now,the railway official was about to be thrashed by us guys.He was lucky that a police-waala was there otherwise I am sure he'd have been slapped hard! He was not only of no help but above all his inefficiency he had the audacity to abuse us guys.Three young college-goers against a fat man! I am sure things would have turned nasty if we were given chance or some free space.

After a lot of headache we now move to the Parcel department where one kind though again,inefficient man tried to convince us all.He said,the train would stop in Kota where all of the luggage would be unloaded.They will unload my bike too.It will come back in just one day.It was hard to believe in his words so I took a written apology mentioning his inefficiency and responsibility for my bike.He threw many tantrums but after another 15-20 minutes of duel he had to!

Today when I called him he asked me to call tomorrow! If it's not tomorrow then I am filing a complaint against all of them.If anybody knows where and how to rip their asses please let me know.Inefficient buggers like these just want to get off from any responsibility as quickly as possible..

Now,the lessons learnt from this trip:

-Don't be afraid of riding your bike to places.If you are destined to die or loose some bones someday it will happen no matter what! Forward this to all the people who are concerned about you as well.

-If you are sending your bike as a luggage.Pray hard to god because anything can happen anytime.Nobody,specially these railway retards, cares about your bike or your belongings.They would just load endlessly regardless of what's in there!

-Instead of the above two points if you still decide to transfer your bike in the railways,make sure that the station where the bike is to be unloaded is the last station for that particular train.Otherwise,you'd be left hanging in the middle.(exactly,like me!)

So,that's it! I don't know where my bike is as of now and,because it's all my mistake I think I have to suffer a lot.Imagine the moment if someday I find it back..Everything would be into pieces and scratches,I guess..

Hi Guys,

I want to transport my Yamaha Rx135 from Delhi to Guwahati.
I contacted GATI and they said they do not transport motorcycles.
I contacted Agarwal p&m and they quoted me 8000 + taxes, which i think is BS

yesterday, another P&M company "Speed packers and Movers" located in Noida contacted me and quoted around 4000. Is this company credible. should i go for the deal?

Pls. shed some insight...


Cheers!!!

hey blisteringintelligence agarwal p&m are the best in class. why i am saying this is because i got my bike delivered through them from Mumbai to Bangalore. Obviously the charge was different,However the service was way to excellent they have sent a 407 tempo at my place and then they packed the bike in front of my dad. my dad had taken some pics while they were packing, and i got the bike delivered as it was packed and was unpacked infront of me.
Bike was intact after delivery..
amount of fuel left in bike was intact..
Plus had my helmet and bike cover packed along with it..
no damages not even a single scratch anywhere...
was delivery before the promised max number of days which in case was only 5 day to transport from my home to Bangalore.
Only additional cost i paid was 100 tip for the delivery

similarly my friend from jaipur who also joined the same company had got his bike couriered through some other P&M. spent same amount of money...it took them 10day to get the vehicle in Bangalore..plus he had to get it picked up himself from the P&M's office adding another 300 rupess of local rickshaw transport... Plus had a broken headlight and was not given any compensation for that.. Plus petrol tank was dry where as the person who witnessed the bike getting packed said that there was almost 3 liters of petrol in that which he had kept in case if my friend needs it at unpacking point..

end of story i rate agarwal P&M 10 on10 for the service..

Iam shifting to vizag from hyderabad for my PG so whats the best way of transporting my 220 without any damages & scratches reply asap is it safe by train? or any other modes of transportation.

[hellraiSEr]

Hello friends.. It has been quite sometime that I purchased a bike (A white RTR 180) from Chennai. And now, I have even shifted to Noida. So, here is the procedure/hassle/tension that one has to undergo to ensure a safe transit of the bike :

Transferring a bike from Chennai to Delhi

NOC
For driving a bike registered in one state in another, one has to procure a NOC from the RTO where the bike was registered. For me, this was the Thiruvanmiyur RTO. The RTO people are very friendly and helpful. You dont have to go to any broker for getting the NOC. Upon entering the premises, I came across the website from which I downloaded the Form 28 which is required for transfer. The site is very slow, and downloading was a bit of a bother. Hence, for the sake of convenience I am going to attach the form here itself.

For getting the NOC, the following documents are required :

1. 3 copies of Form 28 with the Chassis number of the vehicle traced on each of the forms (In the RTR, the Chassis number is located on the right hand side of the handle bar just near the fuel tank. And it is a damn difficult place to get it traced).
2. Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate in the original (Takes Rs. 30 to get it done. Can be done at any petrol bunk or at the Service Center).
3. RC Book or Smart card in the original
4. Insurance papers photocopy
5. Driving Licence photocopy
6. Proof of residence (Passport / Bonafide letter from HR / Voters ID Card / PAN Card)
7. Police verification of the vehicle (More on this later)

With all the above documents one can apply for the NOC. It is not neccessary to bring the bike, as physical verification of the same is not done. In the Thiruvanmiyur RTO, the documents are accepted from 10am to 1pm Mon-Fri. A nominal charge of Rs. 50 is collected at the time of submitting the forms, and it takes 1 week to get the NOC.

Police Verification
In Chennai, Police verification of the bike is done at the Commissioner's office at Egmore.

They accept the forms from 10am to 1pm and the Police verification form is given on the same day from 5pm till 6pm. The following documents are required for applying for Police verification :

1. Requisition letter addressed to AC, CRB (Crime Records Bureau), Chennai.
2. Enquiry from (available from the CRB building in Commissioner's office).
3. Copy of RC book / Smart card.
4. Copy of Insurance (valid period)
5. Copy of the Driving Licence of the RC owner
6. Copy of Residential proof (Ration card / PAN Card / DL / Passport first page / Bonafide letter from HR / Bank Pass book).

Residential proof of Chennai is required. If PAN card / Ration card / Bank pass book is used, it should be from Chennai itself. Else, it would be rejected. The original police verification form is required at the time of applying for NOC.
Contact number at CRB office - 044-42148585 / 044-28517688.


Booking it in Train
Among the 10 trains for Delhi, Duronto and Rajdhani take less than 30 hours. Rest all are 30+. Hence, I had the option of Rajdhani and Duronto. But on enquiry, I found out that Rajdhani had a Luggage van, but Duronto hadn't. So, Rajdhani it was. Bike can be transferred in two ways. Either as personal luggage (on the same train) or normally, in which case they would send it on the next possible train to Delhi, not neccessarily in the train in which you are travelling. As per suggestions, it is always safe to take the bike in the same train, and watch it being loaded and unloaded. Atleast, it would be safer that way. It took me Rs. 1800 for the luggage charge (after declaring the bike cost to be Rs. 40,000), and Rs. 750 towards packing and loading charges. The petrol tank would be emptied before packing, and whatever petrol is recovered would be taken by the potters under some pretext or the other. So, better empty it yourself, or ensure that the least amount of petrol remains in the tank. Make sure you have the train ticket at the time of issuing the luggage ticket, as it is verified at that time. A pink piece of paper with some details would be given, which is required to claim the luggage at the end station.

After the Rs. 750 for packing and loading, they would charge another Rs. 100 to book it (bribe). But even after that, it is better to reach the station when the potters are loading the bike so that you can make sure the bike is loaded properly and no heavy luggage is placed on the tank. Have Rs. 50 notes handy, and give it to the potter after making sure they have kept it properly. Move only after you are sure that there is no more luggage to be loaded, and the bike is loaded properly. Its better to remove the rear view mirrors and indicators if possible. Chances are that, they might be damaged. Also, the first aid kit and the tool kit should be removed, and carried separately. Else, they might 'get lost'.

On reaching the station, make sure to reach the luggage van as the train stops, and make sure that the bike is unloaded properly. And, as before, keep Rs. 50 notes handy. The pink slip needs to be shown at the Luggage counter at the destination. They make an entry in a register, and a white paper with some details would be given. This paper needs to be verified by the RPF, and the bike is then safe to be taken off the platform.

Rest assured, that if you follow these steps properly, you would have a safe transit. As I don't even have a working knowledge of Tamil, it would have been a nightmare doing everything. But thanks to fellow xbhpian, Suriya who came all the way to the station and helped me with everything. I wonder how I could have managed everything without his help. Thanks again to Suriya.

Hope this information helps someone in need.

You could transport it by Indian Railways parcel-van of any scheduled train , cheaply and safely . It is easy to do so if the bike is already registered in your ownership and ownership papers are clear . Enquire with your nearest railway station manager . I have seen this done several times . Infact , this is what most of these P&M guys do , afterwards of taking your money .

I have a question about transfer of ownership for a bike I am buying from a close friend , didn't want to start up a new thread . It was originally purchased under a loan-scheme , which is now fully paid up . He has got the completed form 35 from the finance-company but not registered that yet with RTO (kolkata) . All other papers are present and up to date .
Now I want to take the bike from him and register it in my name at the same RTO in kolkata . What are the things I need to do and what would be the approximate cost for all this . He says I don't even need to register and can continue riding it with just a written permission from him , to that effect . Is that correct ? Please help quickly .. anyone familiar with the process at Kolkata RTO specifically ?
