Purchased a 1985 Kawasaki off ebay no problem with it, all good, however when I go to charge a new battery for it battery acid virtually wipes out title. Harrisburg rejects it and tells me to have original owner obtain duplicate and sign off again. Herein lies the problem seller on ebay never states he has not redid title when he bought it. Now the first guy who sold it on ebay to him does not respond to my requests about this. Had i known this was second hand transaction I would have walked away. What to do? Wouldn't have been a problem maybe but I still wouldnt have bought it had i known the title wasn,t in his name. Can anybody say screwed!!! All motorcycle possible purchasers beware!

I happened to witness a good one here in Pa a couple of weeks back.  I stopped at a yard sale in Leeper Pa.  Guy had a motorcycle there for sale and he and another guy who stopped were dickering on the price.  The engine was locked up so the exchange was pretty intensive and got my attention.

It did not end well for the seller. They ended up agreeing on a price and while the buyer was giving him money down they started talking title.

The title was not in the sellers name and the buyer was a cop!

I'm here to tell you that cop was pizzed.  Don't know what happened from there but I'm bettin it wasn't pretty.
