2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

Spot on, it's a skunk.
More title woes. I may give up on this project. I'll update with more details later, pretty glum about it.

Basically the original papers already had mistakes on them,
- the model was listed as "GS1"
- the VIN on the paperwork had an extra "E" in it: Bike says GS1000_######, and the papers say GS1000E######
So now both of those things are on my new NJ title, along with the mistake they added earlier this week, somehow changing 1978 to 2004.
I'm pretty confident that taking this to the DMV would be a colossal waste of time, and be more frustrating than I think I can handle.

Serious question: how does going to AAA help? What can that organization do?
