In the last year I've sold three bikes. In each case the buyer had me deliver the bike. I always have seller's remorse when delivering them.

I sold the blue K11/12RS today. The buyer lives in Spokane so he had me ride it to the Ride West BMW where they're going to install a new front tire and let him leave it there until next weekend when he can pick it up.

Bye bye, Blue! Crying or Very sad



(I kept the Ohlins.)

Seattle. I refer to them as "Ride Worst BMW." (They're really not that bad.)

Your question is not relevant. It is an aftermarket part. I needed it for my next project bike so I put a good condition low mile stocker on the bike prior to listing it for sale.

It's an assembly of metal parts.

I sadly sold my parent's house- where I grew up- without using the term "cruel buyers" .

I'll bet your parents' house wouldn't do a buck and a quarter and put a smile on your face. Now would it? Laughing

I got that avatar from Allen. He sold his K1100 and bought a Triumph so he doesn't post much here anymore.

Here you go:
