New to the forum and looking for some advice
I've recently purchased a 2001 Honda Hornet off TradeMe. Registration had lapsed a few years back and it needed some work, no big deal.
Got it back up to Auckland and spent some money to get it all working and get it WOF ready and ready to re-register in my name. When I've gone to re-register this it turns out the bike is not in the name of the guy that sold it to me.
Now I know I'm an idiot for spending the money/time to get it all working before checking the reg info but I honestly did not even consider the fact it may not be registered to the guy..
Been a bit of a mess around to try get this sorted as the guy I bought it off can't find proof of anything when he purchased it a few years back (It has been sitting unused in this shed for years). I've been to a JP and signed a confirmation that I bought it legally and contacted the guy I bought it off to obtain proof he brought it legally but the compliance officer said this isn't enough and they need proof that the guy I purchased it off was legally allowed to sell it. He is often ignoring my messages and said that he is searching for things but hasn't been in touch with the person he brought it off in years.
I'm not sure what to do here or what my options are. It's my first bike I just want to get it signed off and home so I can ride it :(
Anyone able to shed some light on what steps I can take in this situation or what my options are?
