Another one bites the dust

[stroem]

Begrudgingly, I de-biked. I babied my Vitpilen and sold it to a dealer for the price I ultimately wanted. They sold it, but before the new owner could collect, their shop flooded during the remains of Hurricane Ida. The bike actually went through the window and was found in the street after the water receded. It hurts to see.

Oh my!

That's a sorry end to a nice bike. I guess there are many more like it inside the dealership.

Yeah, they lost about 200 bikes, it looks like most stayed in the dealership and didnt try and float away though.

The one time that a bike with much less weight is less advantageous.

Where can I buy a flood damaged bike for, say, $300

...sold it to a dealer...

Did they also sell you something, which you hopefully brought home before it flooded

Nope, I'm just on 4 wheels now

I had a work colleague get rid of his RC 390 to put a turbo in his Golf 2 "cabrio"...

4 Wheeled motorcycles are cool too right

Initially I was going to sell the Vit for a supercharger for my old MKI MX-5 but I went a different direction entirely.

It's like two motorcycles with a little house in the middle.
