Not that I need another bike…… but…
My Buds pop in law in selling his 1997 FXDWG he wants $3000 I’m tempted but….. the bike has 110,000 miles and needs a complete going through. It’s running and road ready, he just decided to buy a new bike finally. My bud wants to go half’s on it fix it up and sell it but I’m not sure we will see any kind of gain, these bikes with low mileage aren’t exactly selling for much as is. It’s tempting not sure what I should do.

“ … go halves on it “ 🤣🤣🤣
EXCELLENT way to destroy a friendship.
You can buy it for 3K, work on it for a year, invest anywhere from 3-5K, lose a friend and MAYBE get 3500.00 back.
Good luck.

Buy the bike. Oh we're the best of friends. Buddies forever.
One of us knows more about bikes than the other. We'll complement each other.
The one that knows less will want to put more into worthless additions.
The one that knows more will put in way more work.
The one that knows less will resent the one that knows more for not "listening" to ideas.
If a profit is to be made, the "salary per hour" will be pennies. But the dude that didn't know much and couldn't put in a fraction of the effort "learned a lot".
Sell for a lot less money than expected. Almost scrap at those miles.
Why buddy no call anymore?
