Default Selling Bikes

Is the economy killing anyone else here and forcing you to sell off bikes? I got rid of the chopper and pro-street to survive and now am looking at selling the bagger. I guess it's my fault for getting into the construction industry in the 1st place.

Yeah, the economy is pretty rough out there....

I bet I get close to 10 calls a week from guys I know around the country that need to sell a bike and asking if I might be interested..

Year or two ago I probably didn't get more than a couple calls a month asking the same thing.

I've already got too many Harleys and sure don't need anymore, but there are some super deals out there right now for anyone looking to buy..

Mine is also up. Daughter is off to college and did not get the financing needed. I need to come up with some more cash before she can start. Not too many extra jobs around here so getting a second job is out.

They're hell to sell right now. You about gotta give folks money to take em' off your hands. It is for sure a buyers market.
