being in the military for 12 years, i have had a licences from WI, while living in another State like TX, VA, AK. being in the military allows this. you don't necessarily know were your going to be from year to year. the cost guard is part of the armed forces. not sure if she could get the bike put in his name... or just re-register it in VA and send her the tags. and allow her to be an authorized rider on your insurance.

good luck.
