Sad but I think it's a smart decision. - Page 2

If you don't intend to ship the bike, make sure that you mention local pickup only.

FastDoc · 03-18-2012, 11:47 PM

Thanks for the tip Kato!

Here's the eBay ad. Will wait a few days and then hit Seattle or Portland with CL. :wink:

It photographs well; I hope it sells quickly for you.

SpudRider · 03-19-2012, 02:02 AM

That's a nice ad, Doc.

Why did you set the price so low? I'm sure you get sell that bike for more, especially considering it's excellent condition.

Weld; please check your personal messages.

Poor economy Spud. At times like this low demand luxury items won't fetch their usual values. Plus if I could sell it before I move it would be nice. I'm riding it a lot now, I love it, but I don't want it to blow up on me again.

katoranger · 03-19-2012, 11:57 AM

Doc, do you have your house sold?

FastDoc · 03-19-2012, 12:00 PM

I think so. I won't get too excited until I don't have to make another payment on it though.

As happy as I am to be free of it, and the memories of my marriage dying that the house holds in it, I did take a massive loss.

FastDoc · 03-19-2012, 01:46 PM

I got a flurry of bites on The BSA. Will let you all know later.

I pleased, and not surprised.

Those "left coasters" will flock to buy your BSA.

No liberals though. They think BSA is for Boy Scouts of America. They don't like the Boy Scouts. :wink:

FastDoc · 03-23-2012, 04:32 PM

This is likely my last ride on the BSA.

I have a guy driving in from the Seattle are to pick it up today.

I'll be happy to see it go but I'll miss it too. I was grateful for the chance to own it but now it's someone else's worry. :wink:

SpudRider · 03-23-2012, 06:15 PM

Congratulations, Doc!

The two happiest days in a BSA owner's life are the day he acquires his BSA, and the day he sells his BSA. :P

Man if that ain't the truth. I'm gonna take the long slow way home from work, I hope it has at least one good ride left in it for me! 8)

To be fair with all the work I've had done the bike may be good to go for many thousands of miles but I just don't trust it. I won't ride a bike much I don't trust, and I don't want to own a bike I don't ride.

I hope that makes sense... :roll:

Makes perfect sense to me! 8)

Grat's on the sale, it's a beautiful bike but I think it would cost an arm and a leg to keep
