That was all I wanted to do at first was help him out! Shoot, I would still help him out if he comped me for the part. The last thing I would want to do it make it tough for a talented racer to get support...
Not to bust your balls, but why would you hand over cash for a bike without receiving proof of ownership from the seller? If the bike was advertised with a MSO, then I would expect that or a title to be presented at sale. Good luck with the issue.
Isn't Beck only 18? I think he just made a mistake, just from being ignorant of the way things work. I know I didn't know shit @ 18. I thought I did though. lol Hopefully he learns from this.
Maybe someone else already suggested this... Why not get a refund on the bike and go find one that is drama-free?
