Yeah... seems like this is going from the out-of-curiosity to the might-sell category...
Even though owning four bikes is impractical, especially with one in Mom's garage, and one in a friend's garage (temporarily I hope), I haven't thought about selling any of them. I've monitored prices on what I have, and I wouldn't make enough money on any particular bike to make it a financial benefit. Then again, I don't have one of the desirable '14 Deluxe or '17 models. I was chatting with a guy recently in a Trader Joe's parking lot as I was eating lunch off the seat of my CB. He was interested in buying one and had been casually checking FB Marketplace. He was surprised at the asking prices, but hadn't specifically seen a '13. I told him if he didn't mind a five-speed to look for one, and that he'd find the prices more palletable.
Having bikes in other locations does make it challenging. I'm reaching fever-pitch on missing my Enfield. My friend's garage is ten minutes away, and he said he has no problem with me swapping out my Triumph for it, I just need to find time. Hopefully within the next evening or two. I haven't ridden her since early March when I took on the BMWs for work.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
