so i made the decision today

[cuznjohn]

i decided to sell my bike, i went to my dealer and he is going to take the bike on consignment. with the heat, and not riding with my buddies anymore because they have to hold back to wait for me, it was a hard decision, but i made it.
it is not worth holding and paying for the bike and insurance for a few rides when it cools off. plus money is a little tight and i can use the extra bucks to pay other bills. after the years of riding, it is tough to not have a bike, but who knows, maybe next year i will get a two wheeler if i am up to it. i decided to go with the consignment because i don't have a clear title, and don't have the money to pay off the loan. this way he will sell the bike, i hope, and i will put the difference in to pay off the loan.
i will still be around to brake chops, because believe it or not, i like you people. ok will let you know hot it goes with the sale.

:shocked: John,
I understand why you're doing this, and I feel bad that your health has forced your hand.
Somebody will be getting one heckuva beautiful bike! Here's to the best possible luck in finding the perfect new home for it! :cheers:

Hopefully thing will turn for the better for you and once again you'll be riding in the open air!
Glad to hear you'll still grace us with your presence!

Sorry to hear that you are selling your :spyder2:. A hard decision to make. Glad to hear you are going to stick around. Most of us on the site would miss you and we sure would miss the postings that you provide. Off Topic is good.

Someone is going to get a really nice :spyder2: in the deal.

You're staying on SL, though, right?

Sorry to see you make the decision, John. I guess we'll all be faced with it at some point. That's a part of life that sux but you're still looking down at the grass. Good luck and keep posting.

John, I know whereof you speak. I too for the most part made "the decision" about three months ago. Mine was a little bit different, but the conclusion I came to, as you, was the same. I had a 2013 RT-S. I purchased to take long trips with "my partner". However, over time I found that my partner (wife) did not "love" to ride like I do. It made no sense to keep the 2013 RT-S if your partner doesn't love to ride. I, like you, put mine on consignment with my dealer, Seminole Power Sports, in Sanford, Flarda, and it was sold within 10 days. (for a price that I was very pleased) I too will continue to lurk around on this forum and add my 2 cents worth from time to time. I also felt the heat as you, and to say the least it hasn't been pleasant. I'll never say never though so I could end up with an F-3 in the future. Just not now.
I wish you the best.

Chris

I GET IT

I too had to sell a bike once when I had a bad accident - not on the bike - but could not work and could not make the payments. Back in the day (and I mean way back) dealers did not take bikes on consignment but my dealer graciously did so as a favor to a good customer. But, I am really glad that you are going to stick around to torment us!
