Having to sell the bike

[Adam Philip]

After a long fought battle I have finally resigned myself to the fact that my 2008 model Busa will have to be sold.

After a separation and all the dramas that go with that, kids, custody etc etc, the bike will have to go to pay for child support and bills.

It is a sad day and I'm sure a tear will be shed when I see her ride off in the distance.

Hopefully in time I can afford another Busa as now no other bike will be good enough for me.

Does anyone else have a similar story to help me through this tough time I'm going through?

Well, I understand and have been there. I can say, and this may not mean much now, but things do get better. After I sold my last bike to pay for attorneys fees, I went without a bike for almost 2 years and then purchased my 05. Keep your chin up and fight her fair. We are always here to talk when you need to bro.

Keep moving forward. In time you'll recover the things that are important to you.

Kids come first, doin whats right now will make things go right later

 

[kromdom]

You are doing the right thing by making the sacrifice to look after your kids. Good karma awaits you

Dunno where ya live at, but the cold weather is fast approaching.

Get your situation sorted and hopefully in the spring you'll be able to get yourself back into another bike.

Sorry to hear this,

Hang in there it will get better, alot of us here have been there.

They make bikes everyday. You only made your chldren once.

Good luck and stay with us here on the .org. If you need us we are here.

We are even here if you don't NEED us, even here just for a good BS session.

Dude if it helps you, it took me 3 years to get a divorce. Once it is over your head will clear and you can re-build your life.

In my case the only people that make out are the divorce attorneys.

Get it behind you as quick as you can. The loss of a Busa is trivial compared to a long drawn out battle.

How much?

been in the same situation myself sans the children...i hated to watch the bike go but knew that was the smart thing to do at that time...i worked hard to get back on my feet and things are better now than they ever were back then!!

I'm sorry you're having to do that I've fought to keep mine through a divorce; the ex thinks I should sell everything I have, but I've held on tight to things that do give me sanity...if stuff has to go, it's just stuff, so stay strong and focus on your future.

Best of luck getting through it all

I lived like a pauper for almost a decade till I got them off the payroll. It sucks big time...but no one can ever say I stiffed them for anything. U might want to approach the issue with her that if u sell the bike at this time of year u will take a major drubbing...ask her if there is a compromise available that will offset this poorly timed sale versus something u can give her in "lieu of"...my point being that is is just foolish to try and sell a bike that few would be able to afford unless they "steal" it from you. What is the sense of that? However, been there, if she wants to rub your nose in it....
Perhaps you can pick up a few hours at Wally world a week and use that to offset whatever the bike payment is and u don't get screwed twice...try not to give up to much ground...good luck...
