Re: Verbal Contract

You'll have to consult local counsel on this one, but I suspect he can give you the money back and keep his motorcycle, since he hasn't really sold it to you yet.

If he had transferred the title and keys to you, it would be a done deal, but unless you can prove some sort of harm, you're probably out of luck here.
