What Can I DO?
so my girl bought a bike. the title was in the name of the owner before the guy she bought it from. it is signed over and it is notarized but it needs to be put in the guys name who we bought it from then signed to us. well the guy said he would meet me now he wont . he doesnt want to pay the tax on the title im sure to have it switched to his name. its only listed as 500.00 on the title so i left him a message sayin i would pay the tax. thats not ****. anyway he still wont call back.what can i Do??? i have the bike and the title but cant do ****.... any ideas as far as filing like a lost title or getting a salvage or something so my girl can ride . she just got her temps plus paid all this money for this bike she cant drive. Help me fellow honda heads!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

I go to the dmv 30 minutes away where no one seems to care about anything. They let that go through for me twice now. I just signed on the dealer part on the back and they put it through. Depending on the year of the bike and your laws you can just get him to sign a bill of sale and then get a title from that.

Tell the guy to fix the situation or your brother-in-law (the state trooper) wink, wink says that what the guy did is considered jumping a title to avoid taxation and comes with a hefty jail time and fine..... lol
I seriously have known people to get arrested for jumping titles though....
I wont buy anything if the titles not 100% right and I wont sell one by just signing the title, I have to go to the notary or else the vehicle is still in my name and I'm still liable..... I wont do that!!
Your bike is still in the first guys name..... you wreck it.... he could be sued..... Bad move on his part.....
I wish you luck!

For future reference, anytime you buy or sell a motor vehicle make sure you head straight to the dmv and switch the title over onthe spot, with the seller/buyer your dealing with. If they won't go, don't buy/sell. I learned this one the hard way. Titles never seem like a big deal, but the amount of hassle and trouble they can cause is pretty impressive. I almost ended up in jail and had my license yanked once due to a title issue, I sold a car and just signed off on the title. A year later I'm being arrested for hit and run and find out my license has been yanked due to some crap that the buyer did after he bought it, and never changed the title to his own name. That was a serious headache.
