No...long story short the title with the bike is junk due to being signed over too many times without being registered through the DMV and a new title printed. I can't go the mechanics lien route or anything like that as you have to be a registered business to do so and I'm not. I tracked the bike down to the person I need to get to file for a duplicate title but he's not exactly a nice guy (didn't even go to his own sons wedding) and won't do it for me...so, here I am.
Not pleased about it but gotta do what I gotta do I guess.
