Post by: TresGatos on December 07, 2008, 07:41:33 PM Is that yours with the checkerd flag tank? Cool, but they all are.
Never sold a bike, bought one in 98, kept it for 10 years until stolen. Now after 7 months on the 695, I can't think of selling it (her) it's not like a car for me. Was yours bought new or used, I wonder if it makes a difference. [moto] Title: Re: day of mixed emotions.... Post by: Duc L'Smart on December 08, 2008, 06:56:00 AM Sounds bittersweet, Richard...
Congratz on the sale- hope it goes smoothly. Good luck with school- looking forward to seeing you on 2 wheels again soon [thumbsup] Title: Re: day of mixed emotions.... Post by: bryant8 on December 08, 2008, 07:04:47 AM Congrats on the pending sale. You'll be back on 2 wheels soon! [thumbsup]

I was heartbroken when I sold my 1098, but the price I got for it made me smile. ;D There will be another bike one day. It's just a matter of time. It may not be a Ducati, but it'll surely be on two wheels. [thumbsup] On the other hand, that new Monster 1100 comming next year sure is looking good! [moto]
Title: Re: day of mixed emotions.... Post by: RichD on December 09, 2008, 09:39:10 PM It is never a good feeling to sell a bike.
I did it ONCE. :'( ...but sometimes life works out like that. With a higher education you'll be able to afford all the toys in time! It'll all work out [thumbsup] Title: Re: day of mixed emotions.... Post by: rsoffar on May 02, 2020, 09:53:35 AM So wild coming back 12 years later to the thread where you sold your first bike because you're starting a new build thread...
