With the impending end of my military contract looming over my head in the near future I have been looking at my upcoming finances to see how much I can save. The fact is once my contract is up I will be moving from the Seattle area to the Philadelphia area where I will be attending college. After looking at my expenses and how much I'll be able to save between now and then it doesn't seem like it will be enough. With selling my Nightster I could free myself of my existing bills and save a lot more money. I don't want to sell it at all and would love to avoid it but, with the future expense of moving across country and having to find a place to stay since the college doesn't have student housing. I am a little worried that I will not have enough money to cover everything. What do you guys think on this matter I would love your input.

 

Expect to take a beating when you sell. Tough market out there right now. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I would problably take it back to as close to stock as possible before you sell. Kurt

 

whats the deal with that gas tank?

 

Yes, the more you move from stock the less appealing it becomes to potential buyers. Do what you have to do now...bikes will always be there when you are ready again.

 

The picture is a little older it was mostly just color distortion from the welding and a little surface oxidation from being bare metal and sitting in the shop unfinished for the better part of a year. I'm thinking about finishing the build and seeing if the guy in Italy that's been buying the bikes that the builders (Super Rat) have been turning out would be interested.

 

I'd say, keep it for now and sell when you really need the funds and selling is the last resort. Worst thing is to sell and then realize that funds aren't as tight as you thought. Looks like you've done a good amount of modifications to the bike and it has turned into YOUR NIGHTSTER, not his or hers but YOURS. That's my 2 cents. Wait until it is the only option you have, even if you have to take a loss later than at least you know you stressed all other means before hand.

 

You might consider what they are saying about fuel costs in the next year or so. They are saying $5 to $6 a gallon is a real possibility with Iran making all the trouble in the middle East. The Sporty will get a lot better mileage than most any cage.

 

Thanks guys the opinions mean a lot. By the way DJ is that a Bonanza in the background?

 

"Iran making trouble in the middle east" Iran, a country that hasn't Invaded another country in over 200 years. Oh, that's Rich....



Back on topic, you might as well keep the bike because unless you want to return it to stock your not getting much for it like it is. And yes, thanks to Obama/Israel Provoking Iran and their Sactions Gas will be going up, plus always goes up in the summer when demand is higher.

 

And you will be glad for those "black dots" in the end.
