So a little backstory, i work a moving job and a customer gave my friend a 86 shadow vt1100, he said it had sat for 6 years and needed a new battery and a tune up. The owner told my friend he would send him the title in the mail but ultimately it never came. He gave it to me since i still work the moving job and would have a better chance at getting in contact with the owner. Ive since put a new battery in there and it turned right on, it cranks but wont turn over. The gas tank wont close and is rusted pretty bad, as well as the exhaust. I checked the oil hoping it wouldnt have any but it did and it was pitch black. It shouldnt be too hard getting the title, the owner was considerably old though. Even with no title and its condition i think nothing beats free. This is my first bike so what all do i do now?
