Looking for a previous owner of a bike I bought last year to transfer ownership. I have the bike, uvip, keys and ran the vin to make sure it wasn't acquired from a condo underground parking lot. But I want to get the ownership and it would make my life, much easier if I could find the current registrant. If this isn't allowed, please delete!
Looking for a man named Rami Nassar that owned an R3 and lived in Toronto. That's all the info I have. If anyone knows him or how I can get in contact with him it would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Do you have a UVIP from service ont.?
 
So here's the story:
My son races an R3, and I needed rims for wets for the bike. Apparently they are made of enriched uranium because they're impossible to find and expensive when you do find them. I came across a bike that had been crashed but had good wheels. It was cheaper to buy the entire bike than just a set of rims. When I met the guy (tow truck driver) that had the bike he told me that it was a friend/customer of his that told him to keep it because he couldn't pay the storage/tow fees. Yes, I thought it sounded...umm...off as well. But the bike was clearly crashed, had the key, UVIP, and just to be sure I ran the vin to make sure it wasn't stolen. Not to mention the guy had it posted on kijiji/marketplace. I've had the bike for about 6 months now and someone wants the frame, as such, I'd like to sell it with an ownership. When I went to the MTO today the lady there ran the vin, it hasn't been declared stolen, so I'm pretty sure the story was legit(ish).

If anyone has any insights, I'm listening.
 
Hate to state the obvious but with the PO's name and a location who in your group is good with social media sleuthing...
 
Maybe try to get an affidavit.


Try and do your due diligence in searching for the previous owner. If you can't find them, you have proof it wasn't listed as stolen. Type up a letter stating you tried to find the previous registrant. Its a few hoops to jump through, but its likely the previous owner doesn't care about a pile of parts...

Get a commissioner of oaths to stamp it. Service Ontario does this for about $30.

This is often done on older vehicles where the previous owner is long dead. A friend did this with an old Honda atv.

Not all SO offices have someone that can stamp. For those that do, expect to pay cash for that service. It is not an official SO service, it is provided by an employee of SO who is operating their own off the books business.
 
So some poor guy crashed his bike, the tow truck came and picked it up and probably took it to his buddies yard, sent the owner an exuberant bill for the tow and storage and the owner pretty much told him the bikes not worth that much, keep it. Zero paperwork. I would be very very surprised if the original owner would sign it over even if you did find him in this situation.

You don't trust the fine upstanding citizens that drive tow trucks? Shocking.

I recall MTO used to have instructions on exactly how to do this, and they even had a Commissioner of Oaths onsite one day per week for one stop shopping.
 
This is part of my due diligence. I can't find the person with google/Facebook and I thought someone here would know them. I got a copy of a generic affidavit from service Ontario to fill out, but would have rather gotten in contact with the PO. Thanks anyway guys.

I would check the branding status as of right now before selling the frame. While 99% of tow guys operating on the internet are honorable and upstanding characters, he would have known a UVIP printed before the insurance settled would not show salvage branding. If insurance did settle, the insurer would surely brand it salvage -- that would show up on a current UVIP.

If it's still unbranded, leave getting the ownership to the new guy. Take $100 off the selling price as that's what it will cost you in fees to get an ownership change.
 
I guess that the current owner of that bike is an insurance company.

Valid points. I'm just going to fill out the affidavit with all info U have and see what happens. If I can't get the ownership then I'll sell it discounted as a track/race frame.
 
Maybe this was answered already but
How old is the UVIP?
If its from the original purchase date with the tow driver I would just wonder into a SO and ask to get a new one printer for $20.
This should tell you if the current official owner is the Insurance Company or still the PO.
