Flipping bikes for profit

So if you are going to sell the bike to someone else the person you purchase the bike from would have to give you a none dated title and bill of sale and the bill of sale would have to have no name on it so it could be filled out when you sell it and it looks as though who you bought it from is selling it to them. Or something. Because otherwise you will be selling bikes and having people pissed because titles will be in limbo, because if the title isn't in your name you can't sell it to them. Well you could but then they couldn't transfer the title or anything.


Should probably add, maybe someone else knows some loopholes or tricks. I never figured anything out but not like I did it full time or a lot. Probably only sold 10 bikes or so like that.

Thats what i would do. have them sign their part and dont date it and when the time comes i just hand the title over to the buyer. and here in ohio you have as much time as you want to get the title signed over but after a month theres a $5 fee.

If you get caught flipping bikes, you can be tagged as a "street dealer" and there are fines and even jail time for that.

This is what im trying to avoid. I have the cops breathing down my neck as is with stunting. I dont even take it to the steets...that often. ive been harassed trying to learn idle wheelies in back lots more times than i can remember. So im trying to fly under the radar as much as possible. Im just wondering how likely it is that they will catch me if im not switching the titles.
