Default Help sell my bike when I'm gone....

Not to be morbid, but started thinking with my wife partially disabled, and clueless about the Harley, how am I going to sell this bike when I die? I can't count on my riding buddy and don't want to burden the kids. I want someone to enjoy it like I have. Everything else is taking care of in the Will. But really no one I could Will it to. I think the best option is to post and give this forum an opportunity to buy it.. somehow...
Any thoughts? Local forum members?
Just thinking out loud..
i know someone that died, had a Trike, and his wife gave it away...

Find a local American Legion Riders, Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, or Veterans of Foreign Wars motorcycle chapter. Speak to them to see if they want it, then donate bike to them in your will to raffle off as a fund raiser.

That's an awesome idea.

Someone has to be the executor of your estate, that would be the responsible party. If one of your children is the executor, its not a burden. You raised them.

My Harley is in a trust. No taxes, no executor.

Somebody has to be in charge of the trust when you're gone.

Tell the executor to have a dealer pick up your bike and sell it on consignment.
