The obvious answer to the problem is DON'T SELL BIKES.

Just buy 'em.

Sometimes they get broke and thrown away,
or worn down to leaky nubs, and rolled into the back shed.

Could keep tuned, clean, and running.
But never sold.

I sold a bike once...   :'(

I just wish I could afford a bat cave to keep multiple bikes in...that would be niiice. Apartments + the nomadic urge to spontaneously pick up and change zip codes don't mix with owning multiple bikes. If I could, I'd keep the frankenmonster 900 for life, add a Streetfighter 848 this spring, an old Gixxer for the track, a dual sport of some kind, plus have 2 additional builds going on at once at all times....

sounds like you need to get a big assed trailer to use as a portable garage!

I've always wanted to own a salvage yard full of old trailers, buses and $hit. Keep a bunch of bikes hidden inside ratty old school buses and have an underground mad science lab/workshop.

Ooooo...a School bus converted with one of the wheelchair lifts on the back to bring a machine out of the emergency exit could work nicely too!....make it loungey man cave-ish and rock out or clock out!

patience is the game.

I've had the same thing, trying to sell any number of items.  I've been known to just hold onto something useless rather than take less than I want.  But those are things I'm selling to clear out, not to make money or finance another project.

worse than the rude hagglers are the people that agree to a price, a place and time to meet, and they no show.  no email.  no phone call.  no nothing.  so there I am standing in the hot sun at some random gas station waiting for this jackoff to show up when he probably had no intention of showing up, just being a prick.
