how do you find the previuos owner?
« on: March 18, 2011, 07:16:20 PM »
Reason is to 1) to say thanks for taking care of the bike, 2) for any other history, 3) extra parts?

Wow, I've been trying to do the same thing for the same reasons. I know the guys name and where he lives but the name is unlisted. I tried the internet white pages and directory assistance but no luck.

PD - if you know where he lives, you may have to stop by and do a face-to-face.
GW - if you don't have any old registrations or other docs to give you any info, you may be SOL - unless you have a friend that works for law enforcement or the dept of licensing.  If you bought it thru a dealer and you are on real good terms, they might tell you.

   The dealer and i are not on good terms. They lied five times about the paperwork,  refuse to return calls, and have yet to send me a MOM. Kinda of useless actually
