Ameircan Motosports will be running an arenacross at the Voinovich Center at the Ohio Expo Center (Fairgrounds at 17th Ave and I-71) Columbus. Info at Americanmx.com, racing Friday 8pm, Saturday 7pm.

You can run the vin on the Ohio BMV website and see if it is currently titled in Ohio. Most times learner bikes are just sold without even a bill of sale because nobody wants to pay taxes. The new owner just uses a plate from another bike until the person moves on to get a better bike, and then the same thing happens. Skip title is also illegal in Ohio, so I think you made the right decision. Plus, mechanics lien procedures just got more complicated.

What year is the bike? Is it a street bike? Do you know the owner who last titled the bike and in what state?

Our problem is there is always a market for "bargains", legal or illegal. That makes it even more profitable for these entrepreneurs to "find" parts and sell them at a really good price. Imagine all they save, no storefront, no sales tax, no....down side.

Grove City or someplace south of Columbus. It was on a patio behind their car port, right next to the house. These crooks are just doing business, no worries about getting caught or prosecuted. Riders are the only ones who have anything to lose.

I was posting in a hurry to get the info out. I've been on the forum for a while, just mostly lurk. I have worked at several motorcycle shops in central Ohio over the past few years as well as the AMA. I am also the editor of the AMA District 11 Rider News about riders in competition off road and on road. For those of you who don't know me, it's a pleasure to meet you. Jayne

Posting this info for a friend without a bike, now. Please be on the lookout. '03 Silver BMW F650 GS between 25K and 26K miles I'm sure they already removed the black and white "thumper" (from bambi) illustration that was on the left side and the black "thumper" lettering on the right side. What IS unique to that bike that those creeps might not think to remove: - Hyper lights under the break light that are set to flash like crazy when the brake/s are on. - The 4 turn signals have orange bulbs and clear covers, instead of clear bulbs with orange covers.
