Default Deals on bikes

I'm guessing with so many being laid off and losing jobs there's going to be a surge of used bikes popping up for sale. I bet you in a month or so a guy will be able to buy a bike pretty cheap.
Hell the market is already flooded but I bet once folks start falling back on rent and mortgages you see the used bike prices drop even further.
I hope nobody here has to sell their HD off.

Who’s that aimed at? Seems to me if somebody can’t afford something and somebody else buys it from them it’s a win-win.

if you read through the threads, the used market is already about as bad as it gets

when will folks start paying me to take their bikes?

I'm good, mine are paid for(and 15 years old). But the thing is, there's always a seller who thinks their bike is worth more than what it really is. I will agree the married guy who's stressed and the wife is in his head is a quick sale. I would think most H-D guys are still working, or well off enough to not be desperate, but who knows right?

Yeah Sportsters used to get bashed so bad, (probably still do) I used to reply to forum posters that "according to some on here, Sportsters aren"t worth anything,they should be free...' of course Id reply that after someone would ask what is a good price to pay for a Sportster.

Me being in a 100% commission job and my wife not currently working due to this virus things are gonna get tough for awhile. But my bike isn't going anywhere. I'll sell off guns before I let the bike go. But hell that ain't happening either.

I was talking about guys who have financed bikes or guys who have already stretched their wallets thin. There’s tons of people that will go in debt for a $25000 toy knowing damn well they’re two paychecks away from losing their house to the bank. Those are the ones that’ll be selling off their barely ridden bikes in a month or two from now.
