Selling a Classic

[steve59]

bro that is just plain sad! selling the R3 and keeping the Storm, Doug did the same and he's happy and that's what matters. I demo'd a trophy se recently with my wife and now she wants me to trade both my bikes for it! I fired her from making motorcycle decisions!!!

Triking it sounds like a really good option .. understand the 'aches and pains ' but ... you WILL MISS having it to ride if you go ahead and sell it , guess you know that though. Trike and trailer and your travelling will continue .. lifelong bike riders that end up with just 4 wheels loose a lot of themselves .. just my thoughts.

I agree, trike. It's still your girl.

You know I will ride with ya no matter what ya got!!!!
I understand the heaviness of the rocket that's why I got my Vegas 8 ball and I have never regretted the trade.
Whatever makes you happy bro Ime with ya

Strike the trike comment. Ain't riding a tricycle. The Indian does interest me, some. The new Slingshot it's just too weird. A Ural with a sidecar ? Suggestions ?

I'm thinkin about a side car as my ability for riding the r3 is diminishing quite quickly. The urall are different and I like the look ,but the rocket is paid for so I just need to fork out for a suitable side car.ive seen plenty of photos of the side cars and a bike shop down the coast a bit has triked the same r3 as mine ,it also looks nice but I have started looking for a suitable side car and I've measured up my garage and it would fit
I reckon side car is the go.

Its listed for $8500 with the Corbin stuff and Tors.

That is a steal, good luck with the sale.

Trophy is definitely an option, I test rode one for a tank full, what a blast....

I agree with and thank all of you. It ain't done till it's done. STB, TC and Nolton. I will never not ride. I would be a hobbling goblin with firepower in Mad Max. God Bless you all.

Belly and fuel tank don't mesh on the Trophy. Remember I used to help the factory truck on demo days so I rode them all. Still love that Thruxton with the bar end mirrors and bullet fairing. I need a long haul bike thats two up comfortable.

Dealer network is more important but no HD. A nice dealer would be a good find. Phil at Smokey Mountain in Waynesville was nice to an old geezer.

The Storm will follow the Rocket.Its not two up friendly.

Big bike two up comfort, wing or victory

There comes a time when feather moss and mustard root just don't cut it anymore. I've had a few friends cross this bridge,if i were you i'd start raising bees again and spend more time with the honey..
