[QUOTE="Shari, post: 445572, member: 1848"] When husband's sister and her husband split, sister got a motorcycle in the divorce. I inquired about buying it after the first year because she never rode it and it was just parked and was looking to sell stuff to make money. She said she was going to get a new battery for it and ride it to work to save money. I never said another word about it. Fast forward 3 years...she approaches husband and tells him she's selling the bike and is asking $1200 if we hear of anyone looking for one. A few months later, husband decides he wants to buy the bike. She'll sell it to him for $900. So he (we/I) buys the bike. (for those thinking I'm crazy...I gave him the option of...find a nicer little truck, or drive the current little truck and buy the bike - he wanted the bike...) It takes her 2 months to produce a title. When she does...its void. It was titled in her ex'es name, and he signed it over to her when they divorced. She filled in her name as the buyer, but didn't date it, and she never titled it, and refused to do so. So, we now have a bike that we can't title. And she says its our problem - she won't title it because she's filing bankruptcy and doesn't want to declare it. Well...since we are still friends with her ex, its an easy fix. He applies for a duplicate title, signs it over to us. Takes another 6 weeks, but hey...its done. husband wants to ride it. I say no way. It has sat for 4 years...take it to the shop and get the oil and gas cleaned out. He does. It will require $1000 work to pass inspection. $350 to even run - carbs are varnished up. Uh...NO WAY NO HOW. I told husband to find another buyer. He talked to sister's ex and he agreed to work on the bike for cost. He kept it running all these years, anyway. So, earlier this week, sister's ex'es current wife Fb's me that the bike is ready to be picked up. Ooops. So now husband's sister isn't happy that they were involved in the bike. And I say too ________ bad. She took us for a complete ride on that thing. She couldn't have sold that to ANYONE else... [/QUOTE]
