Need a little advice on how to handle a situation....

[tomahawk1976]

Back in the day I would have drove to this guys house, knocked on the door and just been like "what the fucks your deal" but I try not to do stupid things gs anymore, I've put myself in shitty situations before. So lo g story short, I bought a 78 shovel from a guy in New Hampshire. Seemed like a pretty decent guy, get home, throw a plate on it ride it around most of the summer. I goto register it here in PA, and since its old NH didn't require a title, but the bill of sale I got needs to be a motorized one. Text him...not a problem, shoot me your address. Cool, I offer to pay for the notary, etc. Been 3 weeks...nothing n won't answer texts back. I don't wanna drive 6 hours to knock on his fucking g door, I don't wanna be a dick, his folks were there when I picked up the bike n they seem like real nice ppl. But the bottom line is without a notarized BOS I'm shit outta luck. Any ideas???

Getting rough with him will get you nowhere fast. You just might have to make that drive though. On another point, next time do your homework on what you need before you buy and don't ride around on an untitled bike with an illegal plate for three months.

Yeah....well aware I should have been better prepared. I knew all I needed was a bill of sale, just didn't realize it had to be notarized or have an old registration card. Not trying to play the tough guy with him...like I said, he came off as a decent guy just don't know wtf the problem is

Write up a Bos and send it to him in the mail with a stamp and an addressed envelope, all he has to do is sign it and toss it in the mailbox. Or just sign it and turn it in, can't say I've never done that before.

Tell him there's a hundred bucks in it for him if he returns the paperwork properly accomplished.

Vermont title trick time

[mrhammer2u]

I recently had to get a notary for a title fuck up (self-inflicted, I checked a wrong box on the title odometer section). Went to UPS Store for the notary along with the PO. Not only did the UPS worker not read the form in question, or ask us to sign it in front of him,....he didn't even ask for ID. He just stamped it, collected $5 and out the door we went. If I knew it would have been that easy I would have never bothered the PO.

If you go to a bank Notary, they'll probably be more anal. But these UPS guys may not have fucks to give. Maybe you'll have same luck?

Either send a bill of sale and get him to sign as said previously orrrr get a vermont title for it, that's quick and easy too

WTF good is a title without the bike? I have a signed title that got shipped with a bike from NY, I'm in SoCal. Right bike, wrong title, dude is no longer with us so I get to play games at the DMV.
