Hi everyone.
I know the chances of me being successful on this are slim to none but I want to try. I'll keep the story short but in 2008 when my dad was in the hospital and almost passed, he decided he finally wanted to get a Harley Davidson. He got one a few months after he got out and customized it to the 9s. A few years later I started riding and I got a motorcycle. He ended up upgrading and we had 3 bikes in the garage for about 2 months until fall/winter storage came around. I wanted to buy his bike from him to keep it in the family and when I finally saved enough to start making payments to him, I asked him about it and he sold it to the dealer a month prior. This was in 2012/early 2013. I found out the VIN and reached out to the dealer and the only information he could give me was the bike was imported to Canada (I'm in Michigan). He tried all 3 phone numbers he had on record for the buyer but it appears all are out of order somehow. I feel like I am at a dead end and the dealer isn't extremely helpful because "what's in it for me?" and also privacy laws prevent him from sharing contact information. All I have to go on is the bike is most likely in Canada and I have the VIN.
Does anyone know how I can locate the bike?
