Yep, that's on the list of options.......way down at the bottom of the list as a last option. International title service in Vegas will assist me for a fee and send me plates and a transferable Vegas registration good for one year, which would be number 2 on my list.

A mechanic's lien basically lets a person who worked on a car to stake a claim to the title of that car if the owner doesn't pay for the work. Carpenters can do the same for houses, etc. The owner can't legally sell until the mechanic gets paid.

This is all off the cuff advice but you should call up your local DMV and see how you proceed. Maybe they can track the bike's ownership with the VIN (serial number), or maybe the previous owner can give you a notarized bill of sale, etc. Ask the DMV what your options are and if they can help you get it registered and a title in your name. Otherwise you are screwed.
If you could track down the last owner of record the state has, maybe you could get a bill of sale from him ? You still need the title.

Very true. However if you file a UCC-1 financing statement on the lien then the owner can still sell but you will get paid first before anyone else....as long as its perfected.

Hypno are you still here ? Are you ok after Sandy struck, your area got flooded so bad, i was down there for 2 weeks in the Rockaways .

I have an exhaust system. Problem is the PO took the guts out of the muffler by chiseling the end out. $30 plus shipping if it will help you

If Hypno had his bike where he lives, id say his bike is gone forever, Seeing his area from Sandy is not good, everything was lost out there. I hope hes ok.

Oh my, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully he is just in recovery mode and the bike is not a priority at this time.
