American Lifan Dealer left me with a Un Licenseable bike...

[DDG1976]

What happens now dsrt4? Did Shawn say anything about where to go from here?

[dsrt4]

All last week American Lifan tried to get a hold of New Athens Powersports concerning the Lack of Bill of Sale sent back with the other Items.


I Assume That American Lifan was able to get ahold of the dealer this week finally because They stated that the Paperwork would be coming to me shortly.


Again........ Fingers crossed it all goes through and the DMV doesn't have a issue with his Chicken Scratch handwriting..

Even after I get the paperwork, I Still have to Get the Bike Inpected at the HWY Patrol Headquarters unit before I can send all the paperwork in.

That alone is causing me to loose a days pay.... :evil:

[dsrt4]

Update:

I received the MSO Affidavit and something that sorta kinda resembles a B.O.S.

The penmanship on the Bill of sale and the MSO is actually worse than I thought. His dealer License # is actually so distorted I can't even make out 3 numbers on it?

Hopefully the state accepts it.

Next up..

I need to get it Inspected at the Hwy Patrol Unit next week. Then I can try to do the title correction.


This has been a most Unpleasent experiance. I still feel this was handled poorly from the begining.

Wish me luck!

Good luck buddy. Hope this gets settled soon so you can get on the street.

[dsrt4]

SHEEEESH!!! What a Day!

Sat forever trying to get the bike inspected for way longer than I wanted to.

Then I stood in line at the DMV only to be told That I may not have everything required to do the title correction.


Luckily I printed the email off I got from the State of Mo DOR stating exactly what I needed. The paperwork has been sent to the state and I guess I just need to see if they accept the paperwork and send me a corrected title in a week or so?

I really cannot truly express how much I want for this to be all over.

All this stress over a damn Motorcycle. :roll:

[Jim]

Good luck.

[DDG1976]

Are you able to ride the bike in the meantime? I know in my state if even the date is messed up or corrected they charge extra. I hope all works out for you.

[dsrt4]

Thanks all!

The Title isn't corrected until the state looks over the paperwork and I guess decides if its all copacetic?


So... I don't dare ride it until I hear back from them. :(

I just don't want to take any chances.

I happened to see this ad on the left of this thread--seems to be appropriate for this discussion. Don't know what states honor surety bonds, but someone could find this useful enough. (dsrt4--plan B?)

Dang! I never got any cooling balm for my pocket book.

Last night my Wife and I actually sat down and figured out what was lost Dollar wise on this whole Deal.

I almost wish I would have bought the Grey Market Dealers frame after figuring it out.

The Bike cost me $895 At the dealer. And I lost a days pay to sit at the HWY patrol.

Missing out on the OT that I can get if I work a 8 hr shift really stuck it to me. Basicly as my wife and I figured out last night, My $895 bike has turned into over a $1200 bike......


I'm glad its licensed legally now though, I'm still upset it took so much time and Money to get it that way..

Heck $400 more and I could have gotten the Hensim 250cc .

For that kind of money, Pitster Pro has a 125cc trail bike that looks interesting.

The main guy is named Gary Goodwin, and he seems like an up and up guy. Pitster is supposed to be one of the top Chinese-made pitbikes company, and they are expanding into full size bikes, hence the partnership w/Puzey and the XTR 250 MX, enduro, and motard, and the camping/RV crowd with the 125cc trail bike, as well as the niche, pit-bike crowd. I like the look of their trail bike due to the front fender having a decent amount of space between the tire and it, like the original Honda trail bike, rather than the replica Chinese companies and their trail bikes with the fender right above the tire.
