Haven't worked for a mfg.,but have worked at motorcycle dealerships for about 20 years. State laws probably vary from state to state,but I have seen at least 3 dealerships that lost their franchise and went belly up for these exact practices. One guy wound up doing a couple years time as well. He had gotten so out of hand, that several customers were riding bikes for a year without getting their state paperwork, he would just give them a new temporary tag when the old one expired. It finally roller over on top of him and went south. I think the factory felt that their fealers were their representatives and didn't want to be associated with those practices.
