Are you saying that if I get pulled over with a SPCNS title I have a better chance of not getting sent to the BAR because I have already been there? Vs. having a salvaged MC title, which would make the cops likely to send me to the BAR to sort things out?

When the officer pulls up the information through his database on his car laptop it will show that its a motorcycle with a deed of destruction-to-rebuilt title, which he will know as I stated that the new vehicle can be whatever it wants and be called the old one.
I believe in CA a "destruction-to-rebuilt title" would be called a "salvaged title". If so, that is something I could easily accomplish here in CA without having to travel to a different state. A salvaged title is generally issued when a vehicle is considered wrecked beyond repair but someone decides to fix it anyways. Is that how a vehicle typically ends up with a "destruction-to-rebuilt title" in TN?
