How pickup works
At Drive for Good, we make the motorcycle donation process as seamless as possible. Our team will coordinate the pickup of your motorcycle using a small flatbed or trailer, ensuring that your vehicle is loaded safely and securely without the need for a key. We use strap tie-downs at the frame for safe transit. Once you schedule a pickup, we'll work with you to determine a convenient time that fits your schedule. Your motorcycle can even be stored in a designated lot until we can collect it, allowing for a hassle-free donation experience.
What drives donation value
The value of your motorcycle donation is influenced by various factors. For instance, Harley-Davidson bikes typically hold their value well, while Japanese cruisers tend to depreciate at a slower rate. The condition of sport bikes is especially crucial, as well-maintained examples fetch better prices than those owned by 'squids.' Aftermarket parts can also play a role in calculating value, adding or subtracting depending on their quality. Additionally, for vintage or custom models and low-mileage Gold Wings, consider obtaining an appraisal from a qualified appraiser to establish their market value accurately.
Documentation you need
- Title of the motorcycle
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Service records, if available
- Appraisal documentation for classic motorcycles
North Dakota specifics
In North Dakota, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires proper documentation for motorcycle transfers. If your motorcycle is state-titled, you'll need to submit the title at the time of donation. For vehicles without a title, a bill of sale can suffice in some cases. However, it's essential to consult local regulations to ensure compliance with state laws when donating your motorcycle.
