Default Can't Give Away a Harley Around Here...

House needs a roof so I thought, well hells bells, I've got two bikes, I'll sell my clean, sano -04 Wide Glide. Thirteen K on the clocks well maintained, lots of chrome. Great scoot.

I cannot even get $6K for it.

Screw it, I'll keep it and hit the guitar collection a bit harder. No way I'm going to give away a putt like that. Is this the same deal all over the USA? I live in a small town on the Pacific Ocean up north. But I advertised it in the Sacramento/San Francisco Craigslist and all I got was an e-mail from Ahmed saying he was going to pay me in bit coin...

Same thing around these parts, people want something for nothing these days.

Last week, I watched as a '05 Dyna Wide Glide with 10,540 miles ran across the auction block and sold for $4900. Not a scratch on it nor one spec of dirt.

No 88/5 should sell for less that $6K in my book. Uh, hang on a sec, my bad, my book is out of date.

I'll still keep it. At least it doesn't set my pants on fire like the Black mamba it shares the garage with.

I'd hate to find out what my '14 Superglide is worth. I heard maybe $8000, nope not for sale.

On the eastern side of the country everybody wants twice that much. They aren't selling either but they're still asking for it anyways in between puffs on the crack pipe. Nice bike bJewell.
