Hoorah, Success!!!

The seller was kind enough to have my affidavit notarized.  It just stated that he sold me the bike by Bill of Sale. I called him after returning from vacation and it was done, I immediate ran up to his house - 45 minutes away - to pick it up.

This morning was my court case.  I really didn't have much dialogue with the judge, the clerk basically made the determination that I satisfied requirements that he (the clerk) established, actually it would be more accurate to say his interpretation of the law.  Hey, it works for me.  He handed the file to the judge and told him it was a transfer of title.  The judge got a really big smile and read out loud, "a 1966 Ducati".  I smiled and thanked him.  (The whole culture in the courtroom is everyone trips all over themselves to suck up to the judge. It would be really hard to remain humble after a while.)

Once I got back to the office I called the AAA supervisor to see what was next to obtain the title from the DMV.  She works Monday evenings, so I am going to head over there this Monday to process the paperwork.  In a few weeks, I should have a title, registration and a plate.

It is finally starting to feel like my motorcycle.
