yea now i just have to wait to get it plated.
the guy had to pay off the loan through HD first so it will be 10 days for him to get the title, then cert mail it to me.
at first i wasnt going to do the deal when he didnt have title in hand, but after talking to my bank a little while, my loan officer said to just go down and check it out and something feels fishy then bring the check back and it will be no problem. So 1. we met the guy at his house (if you were scamming i dont think you would invite the person to your house) 2. His house was a CASTLE. at least $500k, probably more 3. He had paid it off that morning, printed out his acct page from the HD site of what his pay off was, then him making the payment to pay it off, signed it. and put in the B.O.S what we had discussed as far as 10 days for title, cert mail, etc.
We talked for 15 min about how his wife had surprised him and bought him the bike for his BDay a few years back, and all around i believe the guy and think it wont be any problem.
My question is, can i get a temp plate from the BMV, or better yet, HD dealer with my bill of sale? so that i dont have to sit for 2+ weeks and stare at it in the garage all night long... i mean im starting to leave a stain where the drool keeps puddling up on the floor

Not sure about your state laws, but you should be able to use a temp plate (cardboard or something similar) with "LAF" (license applied for) written on it. Just take some extra steps when out on the road (no speeding, etc...) and be sure to have ALL paperwork with you.

turns out its going to be like 2 weeks before i can ride. i called the bmv and the o-so knowlegable call center told me i couldnt get any temp plates without the title, which i then asked them why would i get a temp plate AFTER i have the title... but either way, i cant get one.
i tried the ppl at the local harley shop to see if it was a possibility, and the salesman ive talked to 2 or 3 times in the past month wasnt too excited about me not buying there obviously, so he didnt offer much help. Not that i figured he would be i just wanted to know i tried before i sit and look at it for 2 weeks.
Im kind of nervous to do the homemade plate thing, and dont want to get some ticket or court day bc i couldnt wait so ill just tough it out, maybe ride it up and down my deadend street a couple times lol
