Crashed!!! sell or keep??
what to do??? layed the bike down with the boss on the back.. did what appeared to be minor damage and turned out its gonna get a new frame on my 2010 street glide.. now i'm thinking i may need to trade this bike off?? im very apprehensive about keeping a bike that has been apart that far by someone other than myself... got 13k miles on it and it was in great shape... should i trade it and what should i get as trade in????

Will the title transfer as a salvage/repaired title? That seems to make a big difference in resale/trade. Sorry to hear about the mishap. Glad you guys were hopefully not hurt too bad. If you go with a new bike and like what you have now, maybe look into another.

I had an accident in April 2010 on my 07 ultra classic. the insurance totaled the bike due to bent frame. Even they don't believe the bike will be the same. They paid me now I am the proud owner of a 2010 ultra limited. If you have insurance think new. Also since you don't mention injuries hope you guys are OK which is all that matters. good luck and keep us posted on which way you go.

I've had some bosses that I would have taken for a ride and crashed just in an attempt to kill 'em. Nice job on your part, I like the way you think!
Silly question by the way, New bike of course
