Default LOW Budget Rides ?????

NOW, I am very well aware, that we have several folks on here, with multiple, Harleys. Some in the WTH$$$$$, category.

Well, this post, IS NOT for you. J/K

I watch and scrounge multiple websites, always looking.
Ran across this particular company, while back. Checked 'em out, just a bit, seem stand up, BEST as we can find out.
They deal with 'light' crashers and repo's. Most of the others I watch, deal in "Sudden Stop Syndrome Scoots", and are prob'ly NOT for most, on here. (front ends, frames, etc)

But these are mostly dent and ding, scoots. Some for a really decent $$.
IF you, or an acquaintance, are ONLY going to get into a Harley, on the cheap, this is one way, to do it. Or, if you are looking for that 'second' one.
Inventory changes RAPIDLY.
Something to keep in mind, MOST will come, with a "prior salvage" title. Check with your DMV, etc, on "your" rules. Don't buy it thinking sell for profit, buy it for a DAMMT nice, inexpensive RIDE !!!! Ride it til the wheels fall off.

Like Gump said...now you enter the world of Salvage Titles and that's a whole other ballgame with DMV. You have to go thru some extra steps to get the bike retitled, inspections, records of all your receipts, certificates of origin, etc. You may also end up needing a Manufacturer's certificate for yourself. Often negotiating the red tape is harder than fixing the damn bike. Since I have problems with authority I kinda gave up, but like yourself I also thought about picking up bikes cheap only I was thinking of restoring them to sell them. Thought if I could do 3 or 4 a year I'd have a profitable little hobby. If it was easy more people would do it.

Anyone have any experience with this? Please share...

Thanks Gump, good loking-out. Like everybody, I'd love to have a second ride. This might be the way to get her done.
