Title: Quickest Sale ever Post by: krif on October 17, 2008, 05:37:32 PM So sad to let her go but I might be moving in January and needed the money.
Wow, I didn't even have time to put up a post here. Posted my ad on Craigslist yesterday for my 01 M750 Dark - time from posting to sale: 60 minutes! Guy picked it up this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKxO2uaaUKE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKxO2uaaUKE) ... there she goes. My neighbors sure are as happy now as I am heartbroken ... :'( Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: ROBsS4R on October 17, 2008, 05:46:11 PM What did you let her go for ? Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: krif on October 17, 2008, 05:55:14 PM Several things together, each by itself wouldn't have made me sell her but in total it made sense: Second hit & run in 6 months while she was parked just happened. Good timing for a sale: I will be going home to Germany for all of winter and don't have a garage. Also, I will probably move away from SF in January, I could use the money, and I think in the future I would like to go a little bigger.
I guess I will go for something similar in looks and definitely sound though ... Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: Desmostro on October 17, 2008, 10:37:05 PM Good and bad hu? That guy seemed very happy riding away.
Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: Vindingo on October 18, 2008, 08:44:41 AM you've got to love the car alarms going off as he pulls away...
Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: krif on October 18, 2008, 08:49:43 AM The buyer mailed me one more time: He's more than happy.
Car Alarms: Like I said, my neighbors hated me. ;-) I usually triggered two to three just in our little stretch of Natoma. ... and I have absolutely no clue where the "who let the dogs out" music suddenly came from ...

Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: remy on October 19, 2008, 11:13:21 AM The end of that video has me cracking up. W/in 3 seconds you have a car alarm, dogs barking, and "who let the dogs out" which will always hold a special place in my heart ever since that one drunken night in Iceland...

Well, as you can imagine, most night in Iceland require at least a moderate amount of drinking and weekend nights you double up on that before you even leave your house. Summertime leads to two amazing things. One is a double in population due to tourism (in Reykjavik) and two, you have the sun up for about three months straight. On a particularly late night/morning my g/f and I stumbled back to a friends house in broad daylight. We got upstairs to our room and out the window we hear a lone Spanish guy just yelling at the top of his lungs, "Who let the dogs out?" in a thick accent and then, yes, he made all of the barking noises to complete it. Repeat a couple of times. Check watch to see if this is actually 2007. Pass out. Dream about making it back to our normal dimension in one piece. (That was also the night my girlfriend discovered that she can imitate the calls of sea birds near the port.) Now I'll at least pretend to relate this to the OP: I have contemplated selling my Monster once or twice but just can't get myself to do it. It's so perfect for so many reasons. Hopefully at your new location you can find another Duc to keep you happy. Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: MonstaMash on October 20, 2008, 04:50:14 PM Hey Christian........Once again, thank you for the bike! I am loving her. [moto] You can trust that she went to a good home......Funny how i found this forum the other night and here you are. I swear it was a coincidence and I am NOT stalking you.....Or am I? 8)

There will be something else in your future if you are like me and just GOTTA RIDE. Best of luck to ya.... Title: Re: Quickest Sale ever Post by: krif on October 21, 2008, 01:23:23 PM I'll definitely get a new bike as soon as I am at my new place. Very happy to having it sold to someone who enjoys it as much as me ... but hey, who wouldn't. :)
Off to cold Germany tomorrow. 44 degrees + rain. Ugh. :-\ |
