Congratulations on working this out!

As for CA used bike regs.... REALLY? ! ? What is UP with that state? So, if you suddenly need to finance school, or a wedding, or the new catalytic converter on your cage because of their *other* EPA regs, and you only have 4k on your bike, and need to sell it, Big (California) Brother won't let you? Good luck with that, Comrade...

(well, that's the state that spawned Pelosi.... I shouldn't be surprised)

I believe you can sell within the state with any amount of miles. I was under the impression it was buying from OTHER states and trying to bring into CA. If I am wrong then there really is no hope for that place. :D

That law only applies to non CA equiped vehicles. Most vehicles are made in regualar and CA versions, so most vehicles bought out of state are non CA equiped. Some models might have only one version which meets the CA standards in which case they can be registered with less than 7500 miles no matter where they come from. Any vehicle sold in CA at a dealership, new, will be the CA version, naturally, and can be sold and registered with any amount of miles on it.

This is one of the cool things about the Internet. Someone misunderstands something (you, misunderstanding CA's laws, 49- vs 50-state vehicles, etc) but you go off on the state anyway.

Awesome. F*cking awesome. Or ignorant. I'm not sure which.

First guy is flaking on me... Said he had approval from bank 2 weeks ago and I have still yet to receive any money. Now he says he wants to meet part way (2 hours for me) and hand me a check. Bullshit. No way I am handing over bike with a check that may not be good. I said bring cash and he said his bank wont do that. I said wire the money directly and the banks handle the title transfer for us and its a done quick deal and he said he is not paying until keys are in his hand.

Well got a call from a guy that is fairly local and wants it TODAY cash in hand and will meet me at my bank after work today. I am taking a little less than asking price to get this shit over with. I have a payment that is coming up so I need to get it done. SO, today may be the day.

Good luck on getting this taken care of! Indeed, sometimes a little less $ is worth the cost of less hassle!

I am really torn now on just waiting and saving money up for a year or finding a little cruiser for $1000 area so I have something to ride at all times. Would put me back a little bit on saving up for the FZ1 but I would have a bike... Hmm...

Although it would be about 2 months minimum before I could save even for that... so riding season would almost be over anyways. I think I will just wait and save.

You're a better man than I. I envisioned that very thing when trying to decide my two-wheeled future even in the face of having a fresh new car payment(which was supposed to push me in the direction of selling the bike) after my cousin's crash and it was heart-breaking. As such I decided to keep it, even if it is the not the most practical thing to do.

It's okay though, you let it go for the best of reasons, your family. You'll find your way back to 2-wheels again when the time is right :)

Sorry to hear about this man, but you're doing the right thing. A bike is just an object, your wife is family. You can always get another bike.

This may sound a bit weird, but I got 2 main outdoor hobbies: motorcycles, of course, and longboarding. I get a thrill out of both, I did longboarding for years before getting a motorcycle, then it kinda faded once I got into motorcycling, but I started back up this year, and am finding it just as thrilling as before. It takes awhile to get your balance and whatnot, but it is scarey and challenging, and a great way to be outdoors. In fact, in some ways longboading at 30mph down a hill is more thrilling than motorcycling, because the implied danger is more real, I have fallen at a high speed and it was pure adrenaline. You can push your limits and be a bit wild on the longboard, whereas motorcycling requires more self-control and self-preservation mindset. Anyway, if you find yourself itching for thrills, a good longboard is only about $200, and $30 for a helmet, check out Silverfishlongboarding.com if you want to get more info on the sport.

um, was that your tag still on the bike or did you take it off first?

FYI, you're still young. there's always time for more toys down the road.

Tags stay on the bike in OR if you want. saves the buyer the registration fee. There was 2 years left on it. DMV has been notified the bike has been sold.
