Called a dealer in NOVA (thats NOrthern ViginiA ,for those that don't know) on the recommendation of a friend.They advised that since c4l is not currently doing business that the bike would likely have to be titled as a "Special construction" bike.That means mucho dinero on the insurance
Jake may get back into business and he may not,a lot depends on the divorce settlement.As of now there would be no warranty.It is still new,I never titled it.
I have over $30,000 in it (don't ask,bad business deal
).I built it to sell,not ride.After Jakes horrible accident,things went bad in a hurry on the selling proposition on this investment.I was pretty fortunate to even get it back as his wife decided to have her attorney ,a cop, and a locksmith raid his business to steal his files and take pics of everything to insure she got her fair share when she divorced him.I got my bike out one week ahead of her or i would have lost it as "company property "(not having a title or receipt yet).
Anyway,I have had a difficult time cranking it (110" RevTech engine).After it turns over it runs fine.I just don't have the time or patience to deal with it any longer.It is in the way and a constant reminder of jakes accident and my bad investment strategy (especially NOW as all markets are drying up,just a few short years ago it looked like a sure profit maker)
It needs a few minor trim pieces on the handlebars OR just new bars ,needs the speedo to be connected,needs a new battery ( have a new starter ,just needs to be installed) and it is ready to go.
I am taking it to this dealer Friday morning and letting it go for WHATEVER is offered .I am pretty sure I can't get 15k,but I am hoping for at least 10k
