He made me an offer I couldn't refuse - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Danr · 04-26-2006, 02:38 PM

I was out doing what I do around here , Cut lawns for about 40 people in my development when a Friend walks up to me and says i am selling my bike. It is a 06 C50 Black with V&H straight shots with Thunder Monster baffles, K & N Filter, dealer Flashed ECM,Chrome Lower covers, Chrome side covers, extended warranty and Deluxe high Sissy Bar. All the OEM parts including the exhaust and a sears Motorcycle jack go with it.

Oh yeah the rest of the story 276 miles on it, he says you can take it for 5 K

I pick it up tonight.

Good Deals a Plenty!!!! Now where do you cut grass at???

Rockhead · 04-26-2006, 02:42 PM

How many times has it been dropped?

WOW!!!

HAMMERPETE · 04-26-2006, 02:53 PM

276 miles on it...I'd say atleast once..prolly scared the crap out of him too!

Atlas68 · 04-26-2006, 02:58 PM

She's not even broke in yet! Are you gonna tame her or flip her?
Good job on the aquisition Danr.

The Teach · 04-26-2006, 03:03 PM

Wow, nice steal man!

Just a bit curious as to his reason for getting rid of it though. I figure Pete was right or it was just too much for him to afford. Either way, it sucks to see someone get rid of their ride.

tigerdude77 · 04-26-2006, 03:25 PM

WOW! In December, I got a 2003 vs800 with 455 miles on it for 4K, but you got a way better deal IMO. Beautiful bike man - congrats.

Pinhy · 04-26-2006, 04:58 PM

ok i'll say it...

blackie1491 · 04-26-2006, 05:00 PM

Hum

I am more interested in the caliber of gun you used for this job.

it must have been an awsome piece that made this guy summit so quick LOL.

Hey bud, sounds nice. Good deal. Enjoy your new bike!

Danr · 04-26-2006, 05:24 PM

OK here's the skinny, He rode and raced Harley's 35 years ago, he got the itch back again after he saw me me and a couple of buddies riding in the neighborhood. Stopped me one day and asked about my C50, couldn't believe the price of the C50's for what you got. Next thing I know here he is with this 06 C50 in front of my house. I said cool we all can ride together, Never happened he kept giving me excuses for not riding after awhile I gave up and stopped asking him. Well today he told me it just wasn't how he remembered how riding use to be ??. So since I put on the his bike all the Bling that I mentioned ( forgot the chrome radiator cover ) as a Friend, he came to me first.

Bike must have about 10 coats of wax on it. He showed me his invoice...8100.00, Yes I gave him a chance to back out so I don't have any guilt about it.

MagnumForce · 04-26-2006, 05:26 PM

Nice score Danr! Now what can one do with two C50's...

Colorado Cajun · 04-26-2006, 05:56 PM

Sweet! What are your plans for your newest ride now that you have two?

stp1971 · 04-26-2006, 07:24 PM

Man what a deal.

Philly Rider · 04-26-2006, 07:36 PM

Danr,

What kind of saddle bags do you have on your C50. They look interesting.

They are Givi bags, had to mount them with Easy Brackets with some minor engineering.

Wow man. Really sucks for him that he didn't enjoy it but sweet for you. Hey I hear Sean is looking for a cruiser that works.

Maybe you can flip it to him and make a grand. hehe
