Ah... one of those cleverly written ads to make it look like the wife's had enough. Hoping to generate some free word-of-mouth press to sell it.

yeah, she knows a little too many details about 'his' hunting lodge on wheels.

On the other hand, I'd love to find a distressed wife selling her husbands love of his life motorcycle after she caught him doing something stupid. Selling a perfectly kept ducati for $1000 just to spite her husband?? I'm game.

Problem is, you cannot sell another person's property without their signing off on it. I mean, you cannot, legally. And the new owner would have a hard time getting the bike in their name too, I'd imagine.

An example of why it's important to find a significant other with similar interests-

A nice significant other: Compliments your new ______fill in blank.

A keeper: You fuss over who get's to use it.   





I find a surprising amount of these kind of ads in the classifieds when it comes to motorcycles, I wonder how many of them are authentic. "My wife says the bike goes or she goes." "I bought it and my parents flipped out." Ect.        I CAN kinda see people selling a bike after having a baby- Some people view bikes as dangerous and don't want to risk riding now that they're a parent.

I can definitely imagine there's a lot of read ads like that. A lot of people are impulse shoppers, and I know my wife has brought some things home and I just stand there at the door staring at her bringing it inside because I can't believe what she just bought. I'm sure plenty of other people in the same situation would just say "don't even bring that inside", not to mention a motorcycle you spent thousands on.

I also has sold my last motorcycle to one of my good friends after he knew I was trying to sell it and had always liked it. He still lived with his mom, and a couple hours later he called me back and said "hey I'm not gonna be able to keep this man", and I had to go back and get it and find someone else to buy it. We hadn't actually gone and transferred the title over yet, but he was a good friend so it's not like he was going to take my bike and run or anything.
