Default Hell hath no fury........

.......like a woman scorned.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. An employee of mine had been in the market for a Harley-Davidson for quite some time. He was in no particular hurry to make a buy, had decided that he wasn't buying new, and essentially kept one eye open as he scouted for deals.

While visiting one of our out of state offices, he happened upon an ad in the paper suggesting the 'quick and desperate' sale of a 2006 Heritage Softail Classic. Naturally, the ad piqued his interest and he inquired. Turns out the wife of a purportedly unfaithful husband had elected to get rid of all his crap as a result of his extracuriculur activities; Harley-Davidson included.She was having a 'Sorry SOB' yard sale if you will. The bike hadn't even reached the 1000 mile service mark and she was letting it go for 10 grand.

With clear title in her name and in hand, it appeared as though she was not interested in either taking a hit on the deal nor making a profit. Her primary concern was getting rid of his sshit. This, as conveyed to me bymy employee. He took the bike for a test run, had done his homework prior to, and took ownership of the bike that same day. No telling what her husband thought or said when (or if) he got home?

So be careful guys. You definitely don't want to **** off the wrong lady.

Oh, and lastly, I sure as hellll hope it wasn't one of you guy's rides!

It wasn't mine, I'm smart enough to put the bike in my name. She might get it but it would take awhile.

Sounds like a great bargain. Thankfully all my bike purchases will be out of the joint property realm (as are all my other stuff). So no way can I get screwed like that should I ever get married and divorced (yay me!).

Wow, that's an awesome deal as long as the title is clear. Good deals are usually about being in the right place at the right. time. Congrats to your employee on a great deal.

Wow! The new lucky owner had better paint and alter that scoot a bit so that the severely estranged husband can't recognize it on the street!

I just don't think I could do that to a fellow HD rider.

Hang on, let me think again.

Ok, I guess I could.
