How do I go about finding a title? I have not yet tried a lost title search from the DMV, I'm just checking out my other options. Anyone have any input on the chances of me having a new title written? Is that possible? Its the first step before I start upgrading and putting wrench time into my bike, so I want to start in the right place. Am I out of luck with no title? I bought the bike from my boss who lost it years ago in a move.
Get a bill of sale from your boss, make up a nice low ball sale price for document. Both of you sign it, and make sure the VIN is listed on the doc also. Take that to your DMV and in 3 weeks to 3 months you'll have a title.
This varies allot from state to state. We waited almost a year for just a simple title transfer from MS to FL. Your mileage may vary very very much. ;)
Oh, and this is the first place we've lived that will actually print the title for you right there, for an additional $4. Cool.
