I found a motorcyle on a reserve base that has been there for years now and I was wondering if it is ok to bring it home

No-- I normally would give a long reason why, but it should not be needed. You have no abandonment or salvage rights on any military, federal, or state bases, lands, or reservations---it's called stealing

Learn to spell.
If you want to try 'bringing it home', hope you enjoy cuff links OR lead shot.
You could start by checking with the Provost Marshal. Get the VIN and check with local law dogs.
I concur with most of the respondents, leave it along. There a reason it's there.

State vehicle rules do not apply on military installations. No, you cannot take somone's motorcycle. Buy your own. I did. If I came back home and found MY bike gone from the base I'd be pissed, and there would be hell to pay.

Go to the mps. Does it have an old tag? Take that or the vin# and get them to tell you who the owner is and should be able to tell you if still on the base. They will atleast be able to lead you in the direction you need to go.

Possibly, check the states abandoned vehicles rules, they may allow you to claim it. Then check with the base/post law enforcement desk to check what the regulations there are regarding the calming of an abandoned vehicle.

You should report it to the MPs, or whoever handles security there. There is no one who can just give it to you, aside from the owner. You can't just ask a Commanding Officer to give it to you.

The best way to find out is take it ..and if they dont shoot you in the process the bike is yours...
good luck when you try to register it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it slim...if the bike was a freebee there are many more in line before you to take it home

I would ask around to see if anyone knows anything about it, if you cant get anything from there, I would go to the Commanding Officer or something and ask him. What he says is all you need

No....check with the base security forces and they can tell you who to contact.

No. You'll need to look further into ownership and title.
