On February 27th I put $100 down on a 1981 xs1100SH with the balance of $650 due when I picked up the bike. The guy I bought from, bought from his boss after it was seized from a storage unit for non-payment. The bike had been in storage for over eight years. Unfortunately he did not get the tile from his boss and the boss was in Florida on vacation for at least another month.
The first week of April I paid him another $325 and picked up the bike so I could start working on it while still waiting for him to get a clear title. How ever I did not do anything to the bike because there were so many complications to getting the title.
And so the game began. After more that 100 emails back and forth I finally took matters into my own hands and got a clear title on Saturday and I sent him the remaining $325.
The reason I went through all of this is evident when you see the pictures of the bike.

Now I can start "restoring" (all fluids, brakes, tires, carbs etc.)
