Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept motorcycles in any condition—running or not. If your motorcycle needs repairs, it can still find a new home, and your donation can help fund important community services.
Title Issues
Don’t worry if you’ve misplaced the title; we can guide you through obtaining a duplicate. Just make sure the back of the title is signed and includes the odometer reading to simplify the transfer.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We make the pickup process easy! Whether your motorcycle is parked in your garage or outside your home, just let us know, and we’ll handle the logistics to get it to its new purpose.
Title transfer & paperwork
Ohio requires that you properly transfer the title of your motorcycle before donation. Ensure the back of the title is signed, with the odometer reading noted. If you’re missing the title, you can fill out Form BMV 3774 to obtain a duplicate. Additionally, remember to return your old license plates to the local DMV to avoid any future liabilities. It's a simple process that keeps everything above board!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your motorcycle, you may qualify for a tax deduction that typically ranges from $500 to the motorcycle's market value at the time of donation. Make sure to keep your IRS Form 1098-C for your records, as it confirms your donation and outlines the tax deduction details. Always consult with a tax advisor to maximize your benefits!
