easy man, i didnt read where anyone said anything about illegal.and i didnt read where anyone was blaming you for anything.i was (still am) thiking you were right doing what you did. he said he would handle it and he didnt, so you did.i KNOW what a bill of sale is. ive been doing this for a long time. and yea there is a difference from state to state. ive lived in 4 states since 75.and alabama is the most lax. you dont even have a title foe a car from 74 back.almost every car or bike we have bought or sold here that had a title also got a 2 signature bill of sale.all i did was relay what the lady told me when i called and asked.you kinda want to shoot the messenger. while i was typing this my wife came in and read it, she said the last bike title she took up to dmv they also asked if she had a bill of sale also.anyway hope it works out for you. saw the pics. like to see him backtrack on this one.
