New EPA laws vs. Keep the old?
« on: June 08, 2005, 07:28:36 PM »
Somethin' to kick around...   I have a really neat hotrod bike...  '01 FXST, big motor, $10-12k paint job, over 100 hp... it's a real kick in the pants to hot rod around town on...  yada yada yada.  I don't NEED the bike anymore and have been thinking about selling it.  

The question I keep asking myself is:  With all the crap that the EPA is throwing around about next years and the year afters regulations on hotrodding a motor, would I be better off financially to hold on to the bike until then and watch the prices jump up because it CAN be a hotrod, or should I get rid of it now, before it loses more blue book value, (making it harder for the purchaser to finance). ?  

What do you folks [smiley=nixweiss.gif] [smiley=confused5.gif] think?

Mr Coolbreeze

Have no opinion about your HOTROD!

But since your now a full member,

GET RID OF THAT TINY A$$ BIKE

Get something with 16" wheels.

Must be careful with those kind of statements Chip.  After all, he might not realize you're kidding.
