My old bike

Sad thing is, I'd probably buy it back for what he paid for it shipped to my house

[R7]

It doesn't matter to me if he sells it for more, I got what I wanted for it at the time and that's all I care about. He also has more invested than just the purchase price of the bike so I think what he's asking is reasonable

[Manny]

what an asshole. he bought this bike for less, and just bought it to sell for a profit. i hope he doesnt find a buyer

Welcome to how people make money....buy low sell high...its not like he ripped mahk off or anything or lied to him, nor is he a friend of his which would make it a bit of a dick move..but even then its been like six months, no??

Real nice bro, especially not knowing my situation. Not that I need to explain a damn thing to you.

as I posted in the other thread....

This is my dream bike, and it was my dream come true. However, as MANY people here are well aware, the economy is CRAP right now. Wasn't that way when I bought it just 8 months ago. I have dug a hole (beginning with the crash/rebuild of my R1 last year) that I can not climb out of, and I'm trying to keep my family in our house (here in San Diego where prices have fallen over 30%) and my son in school on my military paycheck. I'm asking the SAME AMOUNT that Mark began asking for her, way back in August of 2006. It came down to choosing ONE bike to keep, and I chose the R1. I have my heart and soul poured into that bike, and it means the world to me.

If there was ANY FRIGGING WAY I could keep her, I would. For anyone that questions my love for that bike, there's a reason I built a replica not once, but TWICE. Mark sold her to pay for bills....and I'm doing the same damn thing. I'm asking more than I bought it for because I'm trying to dig my family out of a hole...good enough reason?

Sorry, but the hate mail stung a bit. I'm not an asshole, and I don't appreciate being accused as such.

Thanks for being understanding Mark....you know how I feel about her. This sucks beyond all comprehension.

Fail to see the issue.

[burnham]

Well that went over good.

[R7]

Fail to see the issue.

That's because there is no issue, and I'm not sure why some are making a issue over it?

Good luck Mark. I know it sucks but you are doing the right thing

[OreoGaborio]

Fail to see the issue.

+1 If I had the money to buy it off of Mark (our mark, not new Mark ) I woulda. A bike like that CAN be an investment. If he can sell it for more than he paid, more power to him.

[dhuze]

I was thinking of buying a house with the hopes of selling it for more than I bought it for. Apparently That would make me an asshole. I thought I had that covered too.
Anybody want to buy all my shit for $5? I'd hate to end up ahead.

[bigred875]

i always loved that bike... good luck with the sale

[Jim]

firehawk, i have removed my posts after reading your responses. sorry to jump the gun on accusing you. good luck with the sale.

[KillBill]

Good job Jim!

Jesus

[union]

I wish I could afford something like this. Its probably a good thing I cant. Id end up bringing it to the racetrack to see what it could do.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

i have cash in hand, what do you have?

[Firehawk]

what an asshole

that's why i said it would be an asshole thing to do, not calling you an asshole

do not contact me again.

everyone else, thanks for the support.

can't believe I'm having to do this.

[KillBill]

It sure is a nice bike -
Wish I had the 18k laying around

[Jim]

as i said, i have removed anything i have said about that subject & i have apologized on eBay and in both threads here.

no need to

it's over and i'm sorry.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

jim, quit being an asshole

[Jonny Rocket]

I know Firehawk from the West Coast and he is a great guy, lighten up on him.

[R7]

I just made a little correction

I wish I could afford something like this. Its probably a good thing I cant. Id end up bringing it to the racetrack for PK to see what it could do.
