saying goodbye to my harley.

0patience

It looks like tonight might be my last ride on my baby.
Certain circumstances have led me to make the decision to let it go.
I will sorely miss this bike, but it is what it is.
It's possible that everything will fall through, but not likely.

Aw, man, that's a bummer. I'm sorry to hear that circumstances have forced you to part with something you love but I guess that's part of life. You're a stand-up guy to be able to make the decision to do this. Some guys would avoid such a decision to their ultimate detriment.

My condolence's. Always remember the good times

She's a beauty, Tony! Saying a prayer that circumstances will change and you'll be able to keep her.

I miss mine too.... hope things are going ok otherwise my friend.

That's a bummer. As My boys get older, and free time disappears, I find myself parting with some toys as well. There is always retirement

The problem is, they cost too much. If you were to ride a $1,200 beater rice burner, then you would be able to say: "I'd get next to nothing for it. I get 50 mpg. Insurance costs next to nothing. I ride it every day to work. I can't afford to sell it."

Go that way. Get yourself a UJM, or a dual sport, or a faux hog, you still have your legs in the wind but you aren't out much at all. That's been my method all along. I been through medical bankruptcy and still kept my ride. You can even turn beemerista, score an old K75 with the smoothest most rock solid bike motor ever made for a couple grand, outperforms that Harley in every single category except resale. Pick up something some old fart left parked twelve years needs brought back to life, ride it, and make a couple bucks flipping it. Loads of ways to keep on riding. Course, the flip side is, with a serviceable beater you'd look silly dressed up like a pirate.

Me, I could not live without a bike.

Once circumstances improve, your next hog will be that much nicer. But you know what? I bet you will look back wistfully at those beaters you had so much fun riding and wrenching.

Nice ride, for sure. Can't say it better than Webmost did, so I won't.

As a gearhead and car lover, I feel your pain.

I love the rims on that machine! I hope you can work out how to keep it.

That sucks Tony. Once you get everything back on track, you will be enjoying a new bike.

I feel for ya my man. Sometimes giving up a bike or car can seem like a little loss of yourself. I felt that way when I sold my race car. Hopefully you'll get another real soon.
