Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Don’t sweat it if your motorcycle isn’t running! We accept both operational and non-operational bikes. Our team can handle the logistics of even the most reluctant engines.
Title Issues
For your donation to be complete, make sure the motorcycle title is signed on the back with the odometer reading. If you have any title issues, speak to us—we can help!
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Got your motorcycle tucked away in a garage or lingering behind the RV? We offer free pickup services, making it hassle-free for you to donate regardless of its storage condition.
Title transfer & paperwork
To donate your motorcycle in Nebraska, you’ll need to complete a few simple steps for title transfer. You’ll require the Nebraska DMV title transfer form, which won’t need notarization. Don’t forget to sign the back of the title with the odometer reading; we can’t stress this enough! If you have plates, make sure to return them to the DMV after donating your motorcycle. We’ll guide you through every step of this process to make sure it goes off without a hitch.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your motorcycle, you can typically claim a tax deduction that ranges from $500 to the fair market value of the bike. The IRS Form 1098-C will reflect your donation, helping you document your contribution when tax season rolls around. Remember, we’re here to help you with the paperwork if you have questions, ensuring you get the maximum deduction you deserve.
Local context — Nebraska
Motorcycles are a staple of Nebraska’s rugged landscape, whether you’re cruising through the Sandhills or tearing up the trails near Omaha. Many donations come from people facing life changes—divorce, downsizing, or simply relocating to a new state. The local riding culture thrives, and yet, as technology evolves, some riders find themselves with bikes they can no longer use. Donating these vehicles can not only remove the burden but also contribute to the community by helping those in need.
