Basically I bought the bike from this guy and I dropped it while he was waiting for the Title to come in from GE Financial(people he used to finance the bike). When he gave me the Title I didn't register it with the DMV or anything b/c I was 17 and couldn't. Well I moved since then and the Title got lost when I moved. I had the previous owner sign a power of attorney granting me permission to request a Title and all of that. Everything was all good until I went into the DMV this morning to find out that their records are showing that there is a lein on the bike from GE Financial. I called GE and gave them all of the info and they can't track it down because they only keep their records for like a year or two and this was almost three years ago. I have no f*cking idea as to how I am going to get a Title for the damn thing. Any suggestions?

 

How does a loan company throw away records after a few years? Something doesn't sound right!

What were the details on the purchase? What did you pay, payments, ect?

 

+1 banks don't just toss finacial records like that... if thier is a lein on the bike you shouldn't have been able to get the title in the first place.

 

sounds like bull**** bro......sounds to me like you need to call corporate office.

 

or the seller really got you!

 

 

That's exactly what I said, but the reps I talked to were unable to comprehend that. I faxed their accounting office the info on the previous owner and the bike so that they could verify that there is no lein on the bike. They said that they will mail me a letter after they verify that their is no lein on the bike. I don't understand why they need to review sh*t when no bank/financial institution would ever erase an account when money is still owed to them which is the only reason they would put out a lein. I'm not even that mad anymore just bummed. I'm about to go and buy a new CBR1000RR or Kawi ZX-10R and sell the Gixxer for parts or as a track bike.

 

How long have you been riding? What type of bike do you have that you can't get a title for? Could make a good track bike.

 

been riding for about 3 1/2years. Supposedly my lein release should be here in the 3-5 days. I was thinking of turning it into a track bike as it would probably do well at the track. It's an 03 GSXR 600 wth and 03 GSXR 750 motor, Velocity Stacks, BMC Race Air Filter, TRE, Full Ti-Force Ti Exhaust, Power Commander, and currently being installed are GSXR 1000 Intake Cams and having the 750 Intake Cams put on the exhaust side. May have them put in a thinner head gasket to raise the compression while they're at it. All of this should net about 140-145whp after it is re-mapped and all. Might ride this for the summer then sell to my buddy and get a new bike.

 

Sounds like it should be a blast to ride. Best price on a bike Romney cycles in Romeny WV they have the best price you will find anywere in MD. Even with the 3hr drive one way you will still save a but load of money.

 

thanks for the heads up...I'll def. check them out.

 

I had the same issue with my 2001 Mustang...I just rode the DMV side of things...DVM keeps there records, so I had them verify things for me, but if the title is saying a lean...it needs to be updated. If it does, then DMV should be looking for that guy with the lean to pay registration? If it shows that he registered a new bike or something then maybe that will work. I would call the GE folks like everyday, four times a day. They will get tire of saying the same thing over and over. Call center folks all hang out and gossip, so once your name gets around they will help. Just dont be a *****, because then who wants to help an Azzzzhole? My two cents.
