Going To Get Bike From Private Seller
Going to buy a bike from a private seller in a few days and wondering how I should get it back? Should I get someone to drive me there? I don't have access to a pickup. Any other suggestions? Will it be legal to ride it back?

What about renting a UHAUL truck? Or would that be a waste of money?

uhaul...i checked but its rent n through mileage n this was a 2hr drive...so uhaul was outta the pic...so we had to pick up a buddy who was an hr away n then ride another 2 hr to get there...all in all...a whole day for me...n buddy almost got ran over by a crazy woman on the phone so be careful if the place is close by, get a uhaul...if its far n u have no buddies to ride it...hitch (plus stupid balls) since its not by mileage but by day but i dont know how ur area charges...but thats my experience so good luck |

If you are an experienced rider, putting your plate on it and just riding it home might also be an option.

If you don't live too far, ask the seller if he'd be willing to ride it to your house. That's what I did with this bike, but it was only 7 miles, and his dad followed us.

Just fill out a Bill of Sale form (give a copy to the seller, keep the other copy for your self)
With the Bill of Sale and the title, you prob won't have any trouble in the case you get pulled over for not having plates. |
