Sometimes a husband has got to do what a husband has got to do....jack the heck out of the sale price. Now go ahead and take a sip of this hunny and take your afternoon nap; I'll be outside.

Sorry dear, looks like we're just going to have to be stuck with that bike. I've had it listed for a month and nobody seems to want to buy it.  Soren

But in all actuality, he is trying to sell it!! I guess the tradeoff was that they went to look at mustangs the other night to trade his truck for, but nobody would talk to him cuz he is upside down on that loan. He just wants to make back what he owes on the bike, and all parts he has put on it etc. LOL ( and he must be counting the future interest too LOL ) Mark

Ha! I had a mint 2002 F150 Lariat with 40,000 miles on it and it was paid for. The BEST I could get was $8,000. Your neighbor is in a heap of trouble...

I'll be in Los Lunas the first week in August. Ask him if it's not sold if I can test ride it for 3 or 4 days, and we can go for a ride.
