Default The shyte is hitting the fan.

Well looks like I will be getting divorced and am going to be in a long legal battle. On top of that the IRS is about to clean my accounts dry apparantly. I'm trying to get out of both situations painlessly but who knows, anyway what I started this thread for is some advice on my bike. I might be forced to sell it and wondered what would be a good price for it. Its 2011 Lo silver, stage 1 and apes. It has about 1500 miles.

What do you think?

Damn man not good. Good luck!

FYI lot of Canadians go south for bike deals...check out kijjiji up here to compare prices. But hate to see a brotha lose his bike. I would rather eat katsup soup than give up my bike.....or hide it from big brother. Whatever it takes.

Hide the bike!! When they come looking for a repo tell them your crazy ex-wife must have taken it.

Not sure on US rules, but i think within a certain amount of time, they can still go after it from the family member. Better to give it to an old friend.

"Sell" it to an old friend, and on the forms or whatever, say you sold it for $1. and when they ask why, tell them "I didn't want my ex-wife to get it."
