[QUOTE="jzzmusician, post: 834766, member: 15651"] A couple of things need to happen (in no particular order). 1. Laws regarding the purchase and transfer of motor vehicles vary from state to state. In Washington (where I live) the new owner has ten days to transfer the title. This can only be done if the signed off title from the seller is in hand. 2. If the seller gets the money in the form he/she is comfortable with everything should be fine. You absolutely do not have to be there. If need be, go down to your vehicle licensing agency and ask them for a power of attorney. They will give it to you free. This limited power of attorney will allow your friend to sign any documents the seller requests on your behalf. 3. Get the signed off title, registration and signed bill of sale. 4. Because the vehicle is an out of state purchase, you may or may not be required to have it inspected, (usually by the State Patrol) to ensure it meets current smog regulations and is not stolen. 5. If it turns out it has to be inspected, let them know in advance that you may not be able to get it done right away due to weather. The DMV people are generally pretty cool and have dealt with a lot crazier stuff than this. 6. Get your insurance on the bike started the day you do the transaction. At the end of the day, this is an easy transaction. It just requires a few more steps. Bob [/QUOTE]
