Wow very cool thread! Got all excited seeing the bikes they were my first love. Dig wayners TA 125 it was my first real race machine. This is a 1976 Yamaha 350 TZ production racer I have had forever. Was only raced a few times and and bone stock other than the Morris magnesium wheels. I like to keep the fairings off so the mechanics are visible. Enjoy!

Sears Point 1974 the old long track T11, on a loaner shop bike exactly like wayners, age 13. My first ever job at that motorcycle shop shaped my entire life, and all for the better. It taught me discipline, mechanics, tenacity and common sense. It taught me how to own a Porsche.

First you should really, really want that bike. Then prepare to do one of these:

1. Do your best to make sure the bike is not stolen. Then make sure WI really has no means to retitle a vehicle. Most states will do what is called a "bonded title" you post a bond, get a conditional title, and if no one claims the vehicle after a certain period of time, you get a regular title. Vehicle can be registered and driven during that time.

2. Find a friend in Maine. Maine does not title vehicles older than 15 years. You "sell" the bike to someone in Maine who then registers the bike. They then sell it back to you. You take the bill of sale and the Maine registration and then you can get a title in your state. Double check to make sure your state will accept the Maine registration before you do this. Most do.

3. Use these guys: Lost Car Title, No Car Title at All, We Can Help! - Broadway Title Company Here is how it works. In Alabama you need only a bill of sale to transfer ownership. You sell your vehicle to the title company on paper. They in turn obtain an Alabama title and registration. Then they sell it back to you on paper, they send you back all the documents. Then all you do is transfer the title to your name and state. The whole thing takes about three weeks.

Thanks for the input. I think I've found a solution to the title situation. Here's the target, and my winter project.

Kurt - looks good! Do you recall which seller you got your seat cover from? Were you able to reuse all the original hardware?

Thanks
