Well i sold my old motorcycle 6-29-08, and today i get a peice of paper saying it was towed and that I am the last registered owner, since the bike was a salvage bike i didnt have a title so i guess the nig i sold it to didnt turn in any of the papers to transfer ownership to him. So the peice of paper in the mail says i owe the towing company about a G. My question is this, since he never registered the bike, its still technically mine, so can I go and pay the fee to get it out and have the bike be mine again? I have a peice of paper stating that i sold the bike to him with his name signiture and date stating that I sold the bike. What should i do?

if it is worth a 1000 to get the bike back then get it back. if not dont pay call the towing company and explain that you sold it awhile ago

not that easy. if you didn't file a report of sale, technically you are responsible. however, if he didn't file for a title transfer... it's a gray area, and you can go get the bike back. you'll probably want to see if it's been laid down or not before you plunk down any money. tell them you want to see it... and if they won't let you, tell them you have personal property underneath the seat. it's law that they have to give you reasonable access to your vehilcle, even after the impound.

Well it was a while back, but I believe i mailed in a report of sale and release of liability, but he didnt register it, therefore I am the last registered owner. Im gonna go check it out on monday, Think I have any chance of lowballing the towing co and getting it out for cheaper?

does he have a receipt like you have? If so...id be worried about him challenging you down the road for ownership

can't challenge ---- if he sells it again.

I ran into a similar situ in WA. Parked my bike in "someone else's spot" at an apt. complex. It got towed and it was more to get it out than it cost ($200.00 bike). I told them "keep it". They said there fee was $500.00 bucks for the tow. I told them "I didn't call you for the tow, nor did I request that service, now kindly ---- your self." They said they would take action and blah blah blah. About 3 months later I get a letter saying they auctioned it off at the impound for $445.00 and I owed them $55.00. Once again I told them to ---- themselves with sharp objects. I signed a release of title agreement and told them to sue me for the remaining amount. About 9 months later, the ------- the sold it too got like 6 parking tickets from the Seattle One-tyme, and DMV send a letter saying there are "unpaid tickets, licence suspension, blah" I Go to the DMV and explain and they told me, to tell them, to shove large object into their ---- cavities. End of story.
