reckon
the cake is a lie
I figured this would be the proper forum,..and yes I did a search, but came up with nothing I can really use,...so,......
I recently acquired another 1982 yamaha vision for free (I just had to haul it away), and was going to use it for parts as it had a clean tank and exhaust (parts that disintegrate over time),........on a whim I charged the battery, drained and changed the oil, pulled and cleaned the carbs, and filled it with fresh gas and lo and behold after only about 30 seconds of cranking it fired up and sounds really good actually.
the front end is hosed (forks bent beyond any chance of repair), but I have 2 more of these things (I know, I know) and can do a front end swap in about 30-45 minutes.
IF, I wanted to go and reg this thing, how do I go about it with absolutely NO paperwork, and no bill of sale?, no chance of contacting the previous owner, he's deceased (the bike was given to me by a friend that was doing the hauling from the estate)...the bike has a CA blue and gold plate with whatevers left of the reg sticker scratched out beyond legibility (orange sticker)
I checked the VIN# on the CA-DMV website, and it came up:
unable to process, no record found,...so I guess that means the title is clear, not stolen at least. (cant get through on DMV phone, keeps saying "more than 10 minutes wait, call back tomorrow") :wtf
so how do I go about this?,...cant ride it to the dmv,.......no paperwork,...drive down in the cage and bring in the plate?
I'm SURE many of you know the answer to this
wot do I do?
