OK, I know you never buy a vehicle without a title. That said, I bought a vehicle w/o a title.

over 25 years ago I bought a BMW R75/6 motorbike from a co-worker. I paid him and took the scooter, we were always going to get around to the paperwork. Anyway, we lost contact, I've tried making connection through other co-workers but it looks like this guy fell off the edge of the earth.

An additional feature is that the VIN tag (aluminum) is riveted to the steering head (typical) but the plate has corroded so the VIN stamped characters are almost illegible.

Really kinda wanna get this deal going. I have been warned about the title washing places, but certainly people have pulled car hulls from the desert, rebuilt them, and titled them?

Any help or direction (including self flaggalation) would be considered helpful.

thanks

Talk to you DMV and ask them about a bonded title. I did that with a 67 Nova. Not a big deal as long as you can get an insurance company to provide an insurance bond.
