Keep your head up bro. .... better things are coming
Maybe not better, but different.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, here's the full update.
I bought that bike during a divorce, and as such I never managed to get ahead of the promotional payment. As such I was still upside down in her, ironic how the only financial mistake left came back to bite me. No lectures, this was a mistake I owned fully, and was fixing.
Anyhow, insurance took plenty good care of me, but with the negative equity I was stuck. After a month of trying every reasonable resource I kinda threw my hands up. I decided to wait awhile and see what the future brought.
The future got here and quick.
On Oct 16 I heard about HD killing Buell and I hatched a plan. Long and short I got a leftover 2008 Buell 1125R, the negative rolled onto it, taxes prep etc. OTD for $1.5K under sticker. A regular payment I'll have gone in four years or so. It's not a Busa, but it's not bad.
I'll be back on a Busa, hopefully soon. Meanwhile I've got some parts to sell, so look for a thread soon as I can get pics uploaded. Front and rear wheels, stock windshield, Suzuki gel seat, maybe a PitBull rear stand cause it won't work with the Buell. Feel free to PM me if you guys want any of that.
Even though it's not a Busa, here's what's in the stable for now.
I'll stick around if that's OK. Been a nice place and would hate to leave because of thieves.
