Your Donation - What happens to the donated motorcycles?

Your old motorcycle will not be junked.

You can turn that motorcycle into a bunch of teddy bears to help children in crisis. Your motorcycle will be picked up free of charge and towed to a dealer's auction, where it will be wholesaled to authorized and licensed motorcycle dealers. The dealers will then invest money into detailing, making the motorcycle mechanically sound and offering a 60 to 90 day warranty on it as it is being proudly displayed on their lots to the retail public.

In this way the motorcycle is not "junked". Our country's resources are not wasted. The motorcycle is recycled which helps everyone and improves the environment.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Teddy Bear Cops Program.

Title Needed?

The Certificate of Title is a document that proves ownership of a vehicle. The only way to transfer ownership is to have a Certificate of Title, called the Title...sometimes referred to as the "pink slip".

In order to complete the donation process, as described above, the title must be signed off by the donor and must be present at pickup so that the new owner can assume ownership and responsibility.

If you have lost your title you can usually obtain a duplicate within hours or days depending on the state you are in. Be sure to inquire and be sure to ask about fast turnaround. Sometimes there is a small fee for a fast turnaround.

In California, for example, a person can get a duplicate title in 72 hours for a fee of about $18.

Donating a vehicle without a title means the donor is still responsible for anything that occurs to the vehicle after it leaves his or her hands.

Of course the vehicle would have to be paid up and there can be no bank loan (lien) showing on the title.

If a vehicle is picked up without the title the charity may have to pay storage fees, so we insist, unless the vehicle is very valuable, that the signed off title be presented at the time of pickup.

Fees? Free Pickup Nationwide

There are no fees to the donor for picking up their motorcycle, truck, RV, boat or other vehicle...even motor homes.

However, if the vehicle is in storage, or at an auto repair shop or dealer, or has been impounded all fees due must be paid prior to the arrival of the towing company to pick up the motorcycle.

There are no towing charges.
