I had an 883 a long time ago, would like to get a bigger bike but everything is overpriced now. I only bought used bikes and mostly in the winter, when prices drop through the floor.
Always used, never new. The new bikes suck anyway. Bikes are cheap here in California. Softails, 7-8k, sometimes less. Sportsters, 4,5,6k. Sometimes 3k. My last one was $1800. There’s so many bikes on Sacramento Craigslist it’s retarded.
Yeah I guess seasons don't matter as much there. I got some amazing deals when the snow started falling and when spring comes impulse buyers will just pay whatever. Got to own a lot of bikes for not a lot of money.
Right on!
I like the smaller bikes with a bigger motor like a 88inch SuperGlide. That’s what I would do if I ever did it again. I really don’t care to ride anymore.
I lost interest but getting the itch again. I moved to the country and the roads are all so nice for bikes.
Shit! Same here! I moved out here with my 883 and then sold it to a guy in my old neighborhood. Truth is, people get fucked up and die out here on bikes. The roads are great, but everyday is a new challenge. With all the farming, there could be grain in the road on a turn, that wasn’t there an hour ago. Also, two lane roads with ag ditches full of water sometimes. It was enough to make me give it up.
