Doesn't the > title belong with the frame? It does here. Depends. I once bought a Norton 500 single from a Brit who'd brought it over here with him and had toured it all over the US, then decided to sell it rather than ship it all the way back home from California. Turned out that the engine had been swapped out at some point, and despite the fact that the bike was titled to it's frame # the engine's serial # no longer matched the one on the original British paperwork, so the California DMV refused to issue a pink slip on the grounds that the engine might have been stolen. In England. I eventually sold it to a guy who wanted to restore it to pristine original condition for his Brit bike collection, and *he* eventually got a pink slip and plates for it by buying a new Norton crankcase that came with DMV-approved documentation and using the engine it had in it when I bought it as a transplant parts donor: I.E. everything but the crankcase. Gotta cross all those tees and dot all those eyes.

I think this is what you have in mind, especially the last line: I think I'll go out to Alberta, The weather's good there in the fall... If I get there before the snow flies, And if things are goin' good. You could meet me if I sent you down the fare, But by then it would be winter, nothin' much for you to do. And those winds sure can blow cold way out there. --"Four Strong Winds" by Ian Tyson, 1961 SQ
