Motorbikes 499 cc and under get added as an accessory to an 180 day permit. A 10-year RV permit cannot have an accessory. Choose one. 10 year permit with no motorbike or 180 day permit with a motorbike.
Non street legal motorbikes will be refused their own 180 day permit. The vehicle must have license plates, and functioning highway lighting. So the husband wife 2 permits thing is a pipe dream unless the motorbike is street legal in the USA. They are strict about this. And Aduana is every bit as strict about the motor bike as they are a car. A big Harley would require a top tier deposit, a 499 cc or under motorbike issued a 180 day permit squeezes through for the 200 dollar deposit.
And non plated motorbikes can be cited (read CAN again, it does not mean WILL) for unregistered use on a public street. Carry a ZEROX copy of legal ownership with you when you putt-putt into town. Enforcement is utterly up to the attitude of local government. Things change to serious if a Highway Patrol catches you on an SCT highway. Keep it in mind.
My bike is plated and street legal. Last year it was too but I did not have a TIP, it was on the RV 180 days TIP. Hope to go through no problem, both are on my name.
