RIP Doug. A life cut short. You paid the ultimate price for your recklessness.

You can get the title notarized without the buyer's name in there?

Here's what I am using: http://www.free-legal-document.com/free-motorcycle-bill-of-sale.html

I'll allow the test ride but only if he has cash and I hold the cash while he's riding.

I'm going to tell him that the title MUST be notarized, and no notary is open today. If he pays cash then he can take the bike and bill of sale today, and I'll get the transfer section of the title notarized tomorrow and mail it to him. He can then have the title switched over into his name. If he pays with a cashier's check (which he won't have have made out, so I don't expect that) then I hold the title AND THE BIKE until I go to HIS bank and convert the cashiers check into cash.

I could arrange to meet him at a local church parking lot or something... If we meet at my house at least I'm covered by our CCTV which should discourage any silliness. I'd prefer to meet at some place we could get a notary service but that's not an option on a sunday. He's an older gent says his wife will drive him over here.

Searched, didn't find. Please feel free to direct me to an existing thread... Finally decided to bite the bullet and put my old bike on craigslist. Got some interest (and suprisingly only one scammer so far). So someone is planning to come over the the house and look at the bike this afternoon. Does anyone have any advice on how to make a bike sale go smootly? Only other time I sold a vehicle privately was my old Maxima and the guy came to look at the car at the bank I was working at , so the deal was done, notarized etc at the bank. This guy is coming over today (sunday) so there's no banks open. My plan is this: (assuming he even shows up) - Should I allowing a test ride? My insurance says I'm covered if he wrecks it (and my rates won't go up) or steals it. The bike also has a GPS theft tracker so if he steals it then I'll be able to direct the police to it. The theft tracker is not part of the sale, so it will be removed before the bike is delivered. - If he offers personal check, cashier's check or money order then it has to be a local bank that I can visit in person to cash it. And I'm keeping the bike and title until I have cashed the check at the bank that the check is drawn from. - If he pays cash the I'll be careful to make sure it's not forged. As best I can. - I can give him a bill of sale (that says the ownership of the bike doesn't transfer until the funs have cleared) but I'll have to get the title transfer notarized on monday (or after funds clear). - I don't want to leave my plate on it. When I sold my maxima the buyer didn't ge the title put in his name or register the car for a couple of months. Made me very nervous because I had not kept proof that I sold the car so if he wrecked then it would have been on me (as "owner" of the car) Do you guys just drive the bike with no plate? Or if he's local I could drive it to his place THEN take the plate off and get a ride home with my wife. Anything else to worry about?

Glad to hear you're ok. So the off-duty officer was riding a bottle of tequila?? (Google image search Reposado)

I'd give an arm and a leg for that. Especially if they don't cover those blades with something.

Good luck with getting the raw source of a .php Post it if you can get it.

Wait, so this is definitely a scam? I already logged in. Dangit. Thing is... Seems my username is "FUCKYOU" and password is "ASSHOLESCAMMER". Well, it let me in with those creds...

Fair enough. Thanks. I use IE so I worry about getting viruses even when my computer is off, never mind when browsing to a know scammer site.

I already deleted the emails and blacklisted the email addresses he used. It was http://mcy.nyc-craigslists.org/ and then a folder/file and parameter string that supposedly took it to my posting, but the posting ID was the wrong number.

Oh well. This is why I didn't want to do the craigslist thing. I don't have a craigslist account. The URL references NYC, and the email came from CA about a bike located in Ohio. They're gonna have to do better than that.

Listed my bike on craigslist. Got a response asking if the title was clear. Within seconds of my response I got an email back with a url saying; "Just want to make sure this is your bike. http://...". This guy's first email was from a hotmail account and the second was from comcast in california. The url contains "nyc" and "craigslist" but is not actually craigslist. So obviously it's a scam and I'm not going there. Anyone know what the scam is behind that?

The duelling banjos thing is bogus. They could play two different chords with the same 4 strings? Plus they can switch between guitar and banjo? BS flag flying high here.

Where does the age 7 thing come from?? There's no age requirement tha I'm aware of in Ohio. Just need to be able to reach the pegs.

:nonono: You have to set that example early and stick with it. The thing with riding with a kid is that you are 100% responsible for anythign that happens to them, and those consequences can last for their rest of that child's like (or it can end that child's life). If the rider wants to choose to accept the risk of wearing little or no gear then that's his choice - he is old and experienced enough to understand and weigh the risks before making an informed choice abotu hos much risk he's willing to accept. But when it comes to a child, they are totally dependent on the rider for guidance and protection. That child cannot weigh the risks or make an independent informed choice. I'm ATGATT and so is my kid. I even handmade him denim overpants to put over his jean shorts in summer because nobody makes them and I won't take him on the bike with any bare skin anywhere where it can touch the ground if we wreck.

So yesterday I was headed up Riverside out of Dublin and the car in the right lane a little ahead of me is weaving left and right. I pull up next to him and see that he's texting. Not a kid either, very late 40s or early 50s. So I honed at him, and when he looked I did the univesal "hang up the phone" gesture. He did. Weird. And how many other idiot are out there driving around with their eyes glued to their phones?? Another time I was goiing into lowes and this kids is driving down the front of lowes with his window open and texting. There was a crowd of people crossing the lane and this kid just slowly drives through, not looking up, forcing people to rush across of back to get out of his. As soon as his open window got level with me I yelled "HANG UP THE DAMN PHONE" as loud as I could. He dropped the phone onto the floor and just staed at me like; "Don't beat me up" as he sped away. (Got a couple of "Heck yeah!" and "Damn straight!" out of the crowd.) It's cars that make motorcycles dangerous.

IP carries a line of helmets designed for women. They're supposedly a better match for the shape of a woman's head. Either that or they have easy access for applying lipstick.

Oh really?? The quote is "I don't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die." A mistake is a mistake, no big.

Someone who doesn't like people who bleed to death without dying.

Don't google Nancy Cameron at work. Apparently someone of that name was a pinup model. Safesearch is your fiend.
