Soooooooo I just got back from the MVA. The bike has had 3 owners before me. The first owner crashed it at 3,700 miles and totaled it. It was branded salvage, but the next owner SOMEHOW ended up with a clear MD title. It was sold to the 3rd owner under a clear MD title and transferred to a clear DC title. I bought it with the clear DC title and they said, oh, it was once salvage, we have to brand your title as salvage. WTF? How in the **** did the 2nd owner clear that salvage brand on the title?

I'm not that upset, at least I have something to ride that's street legal right now, and I only have to take it to regular inspection instead of the salvage inspection done by the state trooper for a colossal $250. It's just that I won't be able to sell it for what I paid for it. Which is ironic and kind of karma because I got $2200 for my ninja when I only paid $1100 for it. Haaaa. Whatever. Sigh.
