If you want to dispose of the motorbike, claim it as yours, or do anything else with it that would deprive the owner of the motorbike, without any liability being imposed on you, you would first have to give the owner 30 days written notice that if he does not come to remove his motorbike from your property within the next 30 days, you will dispose of it and you will have no liability to the owner whatsoever. If the owner has not removed it from your property within the 30 days, then on the 31st day you can do whatever you want with it.

Best of luck,
