Good morning my friends. First off I want you guys to know I am very thankful for this site. It has been a great help for me along the way. Wonderful resource of information. Additionally there are some great folks on here who were also more than happy to lend a hand. Now on to my problem. I purchased my Busa in early 2011. It did not run and was delivered in boxes. I was given the normal run around about the title will be available in the next week or so...yada,yada,yada, (I bet you can see where this is heading). Once I had a police buddy of mine run for theft and it was clean I figured since I got such a good deal It would be worth it regardless if I ever get title. Fast forward to today. I consider my bike to be pretty nice. Especially considering I am not as much of a gearhead as alot of you guys. It was an accoplishment for me to take my box of parts and turn it into the bike I have. So now I have this bike that I have a major attachement too. (I know it sounds crazy) AND no title. The person I purchased the bike from is no where to be found. I started the process of trying to get a title. Well in typical fashion there is a lien on the bike. If I would have known this on the front end I would have called the bank and just said "hey I bought a box of parts for xyz, do you want them back for xyz". Been no sweat. Well now I have a bike that I bought and I have invested a ton of money into it over time. I was a little dumb in the first place for buying it without having my ducks in a row. No need to blast me. I get it. I just figured if push come to shove I could always part it out or sale for non highway use. I even called the lein holder and tried to feel them out. Since the debt to them is 3 years old. Was hoping to maybe pay them something to release the lien. Abviously having to do this tip toeing around since I do not want these folks showing up at my place taking this bike. They could care less. did not want to work with me at all.
I really do not want to part this bike out and sale it like that. I just do not have the time to do so. I would rather sale it as it sits for less money and have somebody else deal with all that. My question to you guys is now that I am aware of the lien, etc. can I legally sale it for "non highway" use? I will call the bank and tell em to come get it before I do anything against the law. I also will be upfront with anybody I sale it to about the lien and the circumstances surrounding it.
What would you do in my situation? Thanks in advance.
