...back. how would i transfer bike? Well, i bought a bike from a friend, he had the title and the bike. the title was signed in the back but not by my friend. i believe the bike is still in the other guy's name. if i wanted to transfer it into my name, would i just have to get a hold of the guy? if i couldn't get a hold of the guy what would i have to do to get the bike under my name?
