finally
Finally, after about a two month ordeal, I finally got the license plates for my motorcycle. At first, the seller couldn’t find the title. So he wrote out a power of attorney form and had it notarized. That wasn’t good enough for the DMV, as they wanted it on their own form (that didn’t need any notarization). So he filled those out, but in the meantime, found the old title and gave me that too. Upon bringing that to the DMV, they declared it was a salvage title, and thus the seller had to fill out yet another form. That form came back, and now my bike finally has legal plates.
Of course, this was all complicated by the fact that the seller lives in Florida, and all of the form signing and communication had to occur through the US Postal Service. And while they can sponsor a pretty good bicycling team, they sure ain’t no FedEx.
In other news, living in a house with no A/C really sucks.
