I didn't receive a 'birth certificate'. But a few weeks after I bought my scooter I received a large envelope in the mail. It was a picture of my, or one just like it, scooter that appeared to have been taken on the highway between Vegas and Kingman, where I bought it.

On the picture was "Custom made for" my name, and the VIN number.

This is what comes with the bike, I dont remember where it was attached. I have bought several new bikes off the floor but only ordered one once, I was there when they took it off the truck, that was the only time I got this build sheet. Dealers have no obligation to give it you. Not really much to see though.

I've purchased 2 new bikes, never special ordered though, and all I ever got was a free t-shirt. Not that I'm complaining about a free t-shirt.

Ouch........somebody has a grumpy face today!

Frankly I think that is a nice marketing touch.
There are 2 things going on here: 1) yes, I'm grumpy and 2) its silly. Birth certificate? Please. Same category as naming your bike. Grow some facial hair and get a pair.

First I don't think it's silly, 2. I have plenty of facial hair and last time I checked there were two still hanging down there, and no I never have named my bikes. What's wrong with having piece of paper that shows the build and date, man I think your just being old.

It’s technically just an MSO/MCO. Every auto/motorcycle/atv etc etc etc comes with one.

Nothing special
