Sangria7Participant
Close call. MSF will definitely improve your skills. Glad that you made it through it. Be safe.
Sangria7ParticipantMan oh man. If the title is blank and not filled out, then there may have never been a documented transaction between original owner and the person who sold it to you. If there is no legal documentation of sale from that transaction at DMV, then the original owner can claim it back. Just pray its not a stolen bike.
You can email DMV as Candice suggested and have them pull the VIN of the bike and see who it is registered under. If its the not the person who sold it to you, then you may have some problems. They can also tell you who is the title holder (owner of bike).
Good luck.
Sangria7ParticipantI sent another review to Ben and I have another one for a helmet in the queue, but he hasnt responded lately.

(from Loki). He went back and put length/width string (please confirm) on those three bikes that Loki posted. They were huge at one time.
The OP’s post was a small pic to start off with.

October 22, 2008 at 12:45 am in reply to: favourite bikes (OMG someone lock away my credit cards !!!!) #14161Sangria7ParticipantIf I had the money
ALT=”VMAX”>
Yamaha VMAX Power Cruiser: 200HP, ~1800CC
Sangria7ParticipantAye…I paid $250 for full comprehensive for the full year.
It probably varies greatly from state to state with age, sex, record, and type of bike.
Sangria7ParticipantI just got the Cortech GX Series 2 2009 jacket….will be posting a review on it.
Sangria7ParticipantJust amazes me how someone can just do what that driver did and not care….
He made it from a possible accident to vehicular manslaughter with hit and run.
Anyways I drove that same street that it happened just to look at the surroundings. I decided to put my Ex Army Scout skills to good use:
It is basically a 35MPH zoned, two lane road; one in each direction. The road is on a partial residential, partial industrial/commercial road. The area is pretty bad, mainly ghetto type, a landfill area, but there is a moto-race track there that I never knew about. A couple things didnt add up though. At night, you would be able to see a barreling truck as the road is pretty straight. And with the low speed limit, that means the truck was probably really speeding. The only ways one wouldnt be able to avoid a truck, is that either the truck did not have their lights on or it was intentional ambush coming from one of the many drive ways. There is a lot of “escape routes” that he could have taken, if he saw a truck speeding down the road. Which leads me to believe it was intentional. I don’t…just doesnt make sense to me.
Sangria7ParticipantCandice – glad you made it through that. I agree with Jim, lots of idiot drivers out there. I am in the opinion that anyone who rides a motorcycle becomes a better car driver.
Goes to show you how very little respect bikers get on the road

Sangria7ParticipantCandice – What size bike you have?
My 250 vibrates alot on the footpegs and I get the tingly feet LOL
