“Either the Bike Goes or I Do!…”

Bob White was confronted with an ultimatum by his wife: Harley goes or I do. So naturally, Bob responded by letting the Internet decide. He listed both his 2006 HD XL1200L Sportster and his wife (a 1959 model) for sale on Craigslist.

Unfortunately, the original advertisement has been taken down. But below is the content from the post. Personally, I’d make an offer for either, they both seem like they could go for a while.

Sportster: 2006 XL1200L Sportster in excellent condition
Wife: 1959 model year in excellent condition, considering

Wife: High Mileage
Sportster: Well maintained. . .and it shows–see the pictures
Wife: High maintenance–and it shows–see the pictures
Sportster: Fresh oil change and filter (didn’t need it)
Wife: Oil never changed– but is checked regularly
