Keep or Sell?

[Deceptive]

I have not had much time to ride my Harley in the last year. Saturdays are the one day a week my wife works and Sundays we usually do something as a family. Now to be fair, my daughter just turned one last month.

The bike is paid off so I am not wasting money on it sitting but I also have two car projects that I haven’t really touched either.

Do I sell the HD and work on the cars when I get time or keep it knowing that soon I will start getting some time?

If you're on the fence keep it. Wait until you know for sure you won't ride it anymore.

Sell it and use the money to complete your other projects

Sell it.

With the growing amount of un-awareness on the street, motorcycles aren't safe. I sold mine a couple years back; sure I miss it sometimes, but in the end I'd rather miss it than have my family miss me.

See debated this approach too, but seeing as I have no kids, #yolo.

If it is going to be just sitting might sell to get the best return for it. Had my last one sit for a couple of years before finally selling after 40 years of riding.

It's not good to let anything sit. If you don't think you'll ride it soon, let it go. Harley's are everywhere and you can buy another when you're ready.

I say sell it. Use money for your car projects then you can take the whole family out. I always wanted to ride never did. Now that I have kids and there are some many distracted drivers doubt I’ll ever buy one. The itch is still there at times.

Sell it. I'm in the same boat as you. I go back and forth on selling my Harley I bought new 9 1/2 years ago. I loved to ride, but two kids have changed the ability to do much of that any more.

When I had kids I slowly got rid of the toys including dirt and street bikes and yes, even the Mustang. I bought a boat when they were 8 and 5. I, and they, wish I would've gotten rid of the toys right away and got the boat sooner.

This.
I commute about 100 miles a day, it's amazing how many people are looking at their phones while driving.

I thought about buying another HD last year before I bought the Cobra (which I just sold, lol). My insurance agent, and very good friend, said two words to me about it.

"Women"
"Texting"

I would sell. I wasn't driving my GT500 much since 5-6 months out of the year it's hotter than hell, and when it was nice the bad drivers, traffic and boring roads in Vegas just dulled the experience. I figured the longer I kept it idle I would be losing money inre maintenance, insurance and registration as well as how much I could sell it for. I miss the car but I don't regret selling it, if that makes any sense.

Sell.

I'd keep it since it's paid off! I have a 2001 Bullitt in the garage with only 7800 miles on it. I drive it when I" can whcih amounts to maybe 5 to 7 times a year, but it's paid off.

Meh,

It's a nightster, you are not exactly sitting on a goldmine. It's also not irreplaceable either. Sell it, if you miss it, buy another bike later.

Good advice. I rode every chance I had and loved it. I sold my HD to help with a down payment on a house in FL and decided against buying another bike after seeing how crazy shit was here. That was in 2006. Hearing a group of bikes still turns my head as quickly as hearing a turbo spool or blower whine, and while I do miss it, my wife would miss me far more. (I think)

Sell it boss

 

[ssj4sadie]

Sell and keep money to get daddy/daughter dirt bikes when she is old enough.
