Just sold my 900F. Had a guy come by and pay me in full and wants me to hang on to it for a few days or a week. Selling a few things due to my wife's breast cancer diagnosis on 9/11. (another reason to hate that date) I need to focus on getting her well for now. Have a few parts I'll be listing soon. Probably the sport kit switches and cables will be the most desirable. I'll still be checking out the board though. Talk later. |

Many thanks Toonces. I'll still have a couple of smaller bikes left. Getting rid of a "66 Honda S90 next. Waiting on title stuff. Also a few handguns. Take care. |

"Good on ya" (as my Kiwi friends would say) for bringing your attention back to the important stuff. Best wishes for you and yours, and there will always be a bike for you to ride if you find yourself in SW Florida.

Thanks a bunch guys. She's sorta bummed out that I'm selling this stuff. I told her I'm not selling anything that can't be replaced. |

I hope she gets well soon and you all are back to having fun in no time!
I just purchased my CB900F from someone having similar issues, and he's holding onto it for me until I can get down to pick it up too...
Have you ever used the website "Gunbrokers"? It's a great place to buy, sell and advertise firearms, so it might be a good option to get your guns for sell some good exposure. I've had great luck there selling a few guns for really fair prices. You don't have to be a dealer either.
Best wishes with everything! |

I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's illness. I really hope things go well for you both.
It seems like in one of the richest countries on earth if you get sick you have to start selling stuff to get by. |

Thanks for the kind words guys. This was a unusual sell for me. When the man came and looked at it he didn't want to ride it and wasn't overly interested in hearing it run. His plans are to tear it down over the winter anyway. Gave him this website so if he shows up give him the usual welcome. He also said I was welcome to keep riding it till he picked it up. I declined that and he did leave with the key and title. He also sent me a text last night thanking me again for selling it to him. Oh and sonnyAK ,I'll look into Gunbrokers thanks for the tip. Once again guys thanks for all the support. |

Praying for you both, unclet. As has been said, "things" are replaceable. Take care of her, and we'll be thinking of you both. |

He sounds like a nice guy, so at least it's going to a good home! You're welcome for the GB tip...I've been using them for years with good luck. Hope she gets well soon!! |
