ugh.. been a while.
 

Hey fellas. Been way too long since i have been on here but the culprit would be divorce. Yep. Going through it. Its not a very bad one but she does have her eyes on my hawk which i guess makes it bad depending on who you are. I'll blow it up and total it off a cliff before i give it up. It puts a big smile on my face every time. Sorry to come back on a sour note but i had to come back and get my fix:rolleyes:

Sorry to hear that, man.

Does she ride? If not, you may want to show her the going market value of a VTR these days, 'cause it may not be what she's thinking; There are probably other things that are worth more than 3K that make you smile less ;)

And good luck with everything...

Should we say "sorry" or "congratulations" on the divorce. Not that its ever really a good thing. Hope you get through it alright.

Take it apart. Put all of the parts in milk crates.
Tell her the transmission went out and you had to get it home in the back of your friend's truck.

Just went through it myself bro. She was cool though, let me keep all of my bikes.

haha! i should definitely take it apart and box it up. that would be funny. she just wants money. cant squeeze blood from a turnip huh? eh. id say congratulations..

I'll buy it off you for a dollar and sell it back to you for two.

Sorry to hear of your ordeal. I went through that 25 years ago, after being married 18 years. All I can say is that it gets way better. Hold firm on keeping your bike.

My ex said, "You can have the Olds Cutlass and the bike, I want the Porsche (1959 356 A coupe)". I was fine with that deal. My bike was more important to me than the Porsche at that point...and way less work to maintain.

Hey, that buying it for a dollar, and selling it back is not a bad idea! You may want to be careful what you put on here though, you never know what kind of snooping a lawyer will do! I hope you get through it with some sanity man. I've been there, not fun.

:eek: Holy crap, those are worth some change. Well, if it was nice and restored I suppose.

To the OP, I really hope you don't have kids involved. My parents split up at exactly the wrong age for me. Lets just say it sucks in many layers for everyone involved. Here's to you finding greener pastures.

And why is divorce so expensive??? Because it's worth it....... ;)
Good luck.....

rofl :evillaugh::evillaugh:

I discovered the #1 cause of divorce, it's marriage! No man, there is no right age if there are kids, and it pretty much sucks, regardless. I not only went through it, I then had to pull my kids from school and tell them that there Mother had overdosed a year later.

It was very nice, eggshell white with oxblood interior, and it ran great after I rebuilt the motor and sent the transaxle out for rebuilding. The last time I saw it was about 16 years ago, sitting on 4 flat tires in her garage, where it had been for the previous 7 or 8 years. You need to know how to work on one, unless you're quite well off. I'd only paid $2500 for it in 1976.

I was single for 8 years before I met my wife (the keeper) in 1992. We have much more in common than I had with my ex. And almost 6 years ago, she said she wanted to learn to ride and get a motorcycle. She's now on her 2nd bike, an SV, and she's ridden over 37,000 miles. We ride several times a week.
