Hi homerd,

Thanks for your greetings.

Hi  lucky,

Thank you for your reply .

Hi Phantom,

we aren't all perfect like you !!

Keep the bike and make him fix it over time , or work with someone who knows about them.
I would pay $5K sight unseen as the tins are expensive and not knowing how the frame is and most would think the same
Wouldn't be surprise if the bill hit $12-15K
Harley bits are not cheap

Good luck with it all

Cheers
Poddy

Hi Poddy,

Thanks for your advice.

I reckon your alright - here's a Lady who bought her Hubby a harley!! - a full time carer - Champion in my book, what is she the only one who has made a blue!!!
In saying that - he mad the blue - probably giving it a bit of a twist - who hasn't.
Good onya Sweets!!

Ditch the Bloke and keep the bike, I bet there's plenty on here that will let you look after them, who have a license and can ride.

Hey Skin it looks like it you and I that are the only other ones that have ever done anything Wrong, - If I win Lotto I'm buying you a brand new blinged up Ride of your choice!!
I might buy Jan a Pressy to

Yep!! there is always a price to pay for messing up - he is lucky he didn't hit one of us - so are we - so are our family's -

I would have been straight on it taking it for a blat because it would never happen to me!!! haha

 

 Man, hasn't this thread taken on a life of it's own?! I've only just stumbled on it and read all three pages in one go. So getting back to your original question I'd suggest step #1 is to get THREE repair quotes and then do your number crunching from there.

What did you pay - $23K I think; let's assume that's the best your gonna get for it in the repaired state. If the repair costs say $5K (for example) then $18K would be the absolute best you're likely to get in the un-repaired state; ya follow?

But, it's a crashed bike and any Buyer would like to think he/ she's gonna get a bargain. Perhaps set yourself a reserve figure of $15K and stick to it. Advertise at $18K and come down as far as $15K. Either way it's gonna lose you money.

If it was me I'd probably get it repaired and then put it in a Bike Shop on consignment; that way you agree on a reserve price with the Shop and they (the Professional salespersons) talk the talk with potential Buyers.

And being as we're all passing comment on whether or not this is an accident, my two cents says both parties were f*ckwits on the day. It was a hard lesson for your fella to learn, what with spittin' teeth and now scared of motorcycles and all...

You sound like a loyal sorta Lady so good luck with this. I hope he appreciates ya!

 

Lotto Tonight Mate - if I win it - you get to choose your ride - I hope its a H.D of course - Dunno about the Dictionary though - that would mean I would have to buy some massive saddle bags for it - we would need the biggest, Blue, best one available - us new age H.D Riders!!

Anyway Jan - look what you have done!! haha never mind - Shit and Accidents do happen!! har couldn't resist

Isaac is on the right track - and there is still a spare bed at my place for you! this is great fun and I think I Luv you hehehehe

To all of those who were 'UNKIND'  good luck to you all !! you will need it !!!!
