    Many years ago (2008) I was forced to sell one of my most prized possessions and I’d like to have it back. All I know is that it was purchased by a gentleman from the Ft Wayne area whose father owned or had owned a motorcycle shop. I’m offering $100 to anyone who finds this bike and puts me in touch with the current owner. I’ll pay you another $100 if I can buy it back.

    It’s a 2001 Road King. When I sold it it had an old, small antique HD fire extinguisher mounted to the down tube of the frame and a white analog watch face ignition cover. There was also an autograph on the inside of one of the saddle bag lids. I can’t find the VIN unfortunately.

    ETA: Found the VIN 1HD1FRW101Y602034

    Your insurance company may still have a record of this with the vin. A Carfax will get you to the town it was last tagged in. I sold an 86 Grand National in 91. Always wanted it back and finally found it last year. Just so happened I had a copy of the sales info from the car lot that sold it in 94. The vin me up to 2012 and it disappeared. I started looking for the guys name that was on the paperwork at that time and got in touch with him. He still had the car but had been doing a frame off since 2012. The car was not for sale but got some updated pics and talked to the guy quite a few times since. That led me to one real close in options to the one that I have had now for a year. Good luck with the search. I have felt your pain.

    I called my insurance agent to try to get the VIN, no bueno. They dump records after 10 years but I appreciate the advice, I hadn't thought of it.

    Any chance the BMV could access it? You had plates and a title so I'm wondering if they could do anything?

    I was thinking the same thing.


    I know when I log onto "My BMV" account it brings up a list of cars I had 20 years ago. Heck it even shows that one of my 69 Chargers has a lien on it through its current owner. Heck, I had that car back in 1995.


    On a side note, I am in Fort Wayne, never have seen that bike. Sorry.

    Interesting, mine only seems to show a few years back. Not sure if I'm not looking at the correct place within the BMV portal.

    Good thinkin, I'll touch base with him. I'm running on severe sleep deprivation and I don't handle it like I used to, my brain isn't firing on all cylinders.
