Chicks love guys that ride trikes
Getting ready for winter

Well today I went to a storage lien sale and bought this with only 4002 miles. Other than the some minor damage on the left side engine cowling and a lot of dust, it looks nearly new.

When you bid on the storage unit did you yell 'YUUUP'?
I am sure it is in different in each state but can you transfer the title over without much trouble?
I had always thought on something like that would require you to go back to the owner and then they are entitled to it if they pay the lien.
They bike was advertised in a small local newspaper by the facility prior to the sale, then they opened the storage unit at the time of the sale so people can inspect it prior to bidding. There is a 10 day waiting period after a vehicle lien sale in California for someone to try and claim it, but basically, in reality, nobody can really claim it during that time frame, so once it sells, it is pretty much guaranteed to go thru and after 10 days it is definitely the new buyers.
I can transfer it to a new buyer with the lien sale paperwork only and they can get a new title with that in California. I don't know if other states will accept lien sale paperwork from other states. Past registration fees and penalties follow all vehicles in California so one needs to find out how much fees are due of any before they buy as they can get into the thousands of dollars in this corrupted state. If the vehicle is 15 years old or older, one can easily get a registration in Vermont which is recognized in every state as the legal ownership papers. This bypasses California's basically illegal back registration fees and penalties.
Here's the less dusty side.

The tags are around 1 year and 4 months out and the back fees are $390.00. This does not include new registration. Sales price has no affect on past due fees. It only affects tax and new registration fees when a vehicle is transferred, however, criminal california's minimum registration fee on any car or truck is now right around $115.00 irregardless of sales price. I don't know what it is for motorcycles. I just paid over $100.00 in back fees for one of my cars that was only 5 weeks out of registration.
When I was in Arizona several years ago it cost me a whopping $32.00 for new plates and registration for my $90,000.00 1970 BOSS302.

The registration for my lincoln with vermont plates is only around $20.00 a year. California wanted around $3200.00 in back fees for that. Guess what...fk them.

Thx barnett. I've run across some vehicles before where I thought I could have made a $ but steered clear when I heard of the story behind it (hasn't been registered in years, no title, owner sold it to me but I never transferred the title, etc.)

Well today I found the cheapest supplier of aluminum I have seen lately. They are on Ebay and also sell direct. Here's their info for anyone that might need something. They also have an Ebay store with over 2,000 items.

That's odd. With a name like Stoner, one would expect high prices.
Nail straightening, now that's something you don't see very much of! I have built so much stuff from discarded nails and screws, scrapped lots more!
