Lots of people want a bill of sale. That way if I use the bike in a bank robbery and then dump it, he has a piece of paper to fall back on saying it's not his bike anymore. Shrug. I did point out that he'd have the cash in his hand, but w/e, I'm happy to "do it right." As for having the title notarized, I think that both parties are supposed to be present... the notary is basically signing that the bike is passing from one person to another... Not sure how that could happen if he has it notarized before even coming to see me I'm hoping it doesn't rain when he gets here, around 3 Or that he doesn't cancel at all. Or that he doesn't change his mind, or that the bike doesn't fall over in the trailer, etc etc. A million and one things to go wrong, of course.
