Hey guys, hate to revive a dead thread, but I think my question pertains to previous discussion here...
So I'm in a bit of an unusual position. I have a 1975 Honda GoldWing that my dad purchased a number of years ago. Unfortunately he passed away and left me without any ownership or documentation on the bike. All I have is the bike (with the keys) in our garage. In fact, he left me with a whole bunch of GoldWings and CBX's. Most of them have their respective ownerships, but this particular one does not. So I copied the VIN off the nameplate that's right on the neck of the fork and asked the girl at my local MTO to look it up for the UVIP. Turns out the VIN doesn't exist in the system at all. Now, I'm assuming that is because it is probably a US bike (speedometer is in MPH) and my dad never bothered to do a proper transfer. I have also not had any luck finding the US title anywhere in his old desk.
This brings me to the question: how do I get an ownership for this bike? The girls at the local MTO offices that I have tried inquiring at have all told me there's nothing I can do. I know that can't possibly be the case, and I also know that most of them are simply robots designed to carry out the same 3 or 4 tasks all day long. Something as out of the ordinary as my situation is obviously too complex for them to entertain.
I would REALLY appreciate some help on this. I want to either keep the bike and enjoy it from time to time, or sell it to someone who will appreciate a mint condition first-year GoldWing. Either way I need an ownership.
