Default Gonna sell my bike due to separation but...

Well, Im going through a painful separation with the wife and was planning on selling the 07' springer classic due to my new found poorness. I just couldn't do it though and decided to refinance, right now I have the bike financed with HD credit at 7.9% which is the best that HD will give out. I found a credit union that is incredible, they gave me 4.39% for 60 months which for a motorcycle loan is amazing. Anyhow, the name of the credit union is Service credit union, they cater more towards military folks but I think civilians can get loans from them too. I highly recommend them for anyone, they are a pleasure to deal with and got my loan completed within 30 minutes.

Anyway, I refinanced and can keep my baby, thank god!

Don't get rid of the bike. Its the only thing that I had to keep my head above the water. Keep going and the devil may not see you. Good luck on your new journey.

Good luck on rebuilding your life......been there, done that.

HD credit does do some promo stuff once in awhile; I financed my bike with them in July '07 and got 4.99%.

Yeah I guess I didn't hit the 4.9% at the right time....

Thanks for the comments, seems to be pretty common these days....but more time to ride the bike!

Hang tough brother it will get better. Like others have said keep the bike. I sat doing pretty much nothing for three years after I got divorced. Then this past February I bought my bike. I hadn't ridden in 20 years. I now have something to go and do. It will do wonders for lifting your spirits. Hope things work out for you. In the meantime go ride and be safe.
