I have been selling off bikes, trying to thin the herd. I began with 28. im down to 15-16? bikes. most of it parts bikes, or stuff with no titles and have been sitting for years.
a few weeks ago I sold my 1st wing to a kid I have known sense birth. it sat for 7yrs. fired up with a battery and some fresh gas. its still in need of a hand full of hundred dollar parts, just like it needed when I parked it.
that's why I parked it. but it runs.
I was shocked. it was awesome bringing it back to life. reminded me why I like tinkering.
that got me looking at the other wing. the last complete wing I have. a 82 1100 aspencade. 76,000mi on it. rode hard and put away wet. farkled and sparkeled to the max (for the day). but its a sound bike. no need for a bunch of hundred dollar parts, heck I even have a key and maybe even a title for it.
I got it from a friend that owed me money and had just put new shocks on it. he paid $350 for the shocks, and that's what he owed me, so he gave me the bike.
it too has sat for 6-7yrs and doesn't run at the moment.
soo... im a little pulled on what to do with it.
do I sell the sucker, as is, not running, for oh say $600?
do I put a battery and gas in it and sell it for a buck a cc?
or should I raid the parts bin and turn it into a Harley lookin Goldwing/Roadking? and try and get a couple grand outa it, after I play with it for a while?
I donno quite what to do....decisions, decisions.
