I think everyone been in this situation one time or another. I know I have. Fell on hard time or so I thought sold my 1911. Hard time pasted but looking back I could of held out and been fine. But it's a gamble and it a hard gamble to take. Good luck with the hard pill that need to be swallowed

Sold my first bike years ago when I joined the Army. 883 Sporty that had a 1250 kit. Figured hey I'm joining the Army I should sell it then upgrade once I'm in. Got married, kept going overseas, 6 years in the Army and no Harley the whole time. Got medically retired following a GREAT trip to Iraq, two years after I got out I finally got my Sporty to FXR upgrade. All I know is I won't ever be selling a Harley again unless there are at least two in the garage and of the two it will NEVER be the FXR that is getting sold!

Unhappy Sad Knuckle story

My greatest regret was selling my '47 knuckle, in good times I had torn it all down to do a rebuild. Things got not so good and I ended up selling the basket case cheap. This was 40 yrs ago and I still haven't gotten over it.
My present chopper was built with my '56 pan chopper (traded for the running Knuck), as inspiration. A few modern touches, brakes, a reliable EVO engine, belt primary, a well padded seat and a Nautilus air horn.



PM me if you are interested in this having this traditional chopper.
