Title woes.

My greatgrandfather got what is now my 1979 GS1000 brand new in late 78.

I have a GS1000 frame with a title if you want to go the easy way.

I would like to keep everything as original as I can.

My greatgrandfather got what is now my 1979 GS1000 brand new in late 78. He passed years ago when I acquired the bike. There as no will or anything to say the bike was left to me the family just agreed that I could have the bike as they thought it was useless. 13 years sitting in a basement without being ran.

No title no paperwork nothing. I just have a bike sitting in my shed that I really can't ride on the public roads right now. I have an "antique" tag for it but your limited in how often you can ride the bike and how far.

Guess I'm going to have to get with a lawyer or one of those title services to get this squared away. Especially now that I'm putting money into it, to get it road ready.

Call your state motor vehicles office and be armed with the VIN and plate number. Could be as easy as having the executor of grandad's will sign the bike over to you. There is usually a way around that type of situation since everyone dies eventually.
