Whether your motorcycle is purring like a kitten or not starting at all, Drive for Good accepts both running and non-running bikes. Even if your ride needs some love, it can still make a significant impact in someone else's life.
Title Issues

Title transfer & paperwork
In North Dakota, transferring the title of your motorcycle requires a few simple steps. You’ll need to fill out the 'Application for Title and Registration' form available through the ND DMV. It’s essential to sign the back of the title and include the odometer reading. Notarization isn’t typically required for private sales, but don’t forget to return your license plates if you're no longer using them. We recommend checking the ND DMV website for any updates or specific forms that might be needed.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your motorcycle, you can typically expect a tax deduction based on its fair market value, which often ranges between $500 to $5,000 depending on the bike's condition and model. After the donation, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the vehicle's value and is necessary for your tax records. Always consult with a tax professional for personalized advice to maximize your deduction.
Local context — North Dakota
Motorcycles in North Dakota often come from various local communities, especially those enjoying the vast beauty of the Badlands or the scenic byways connecting towns and landscapes. Many owners decide to donate their bikes due to life changes like downsizing, relocation for work, or simply because they're not riding anymore. With the tight-knit biker culture and plenty of motorcycle events, North Dakotans understand the value of community, and donating your bike not only helps others but keeps that spirit alive.
