"No thanks, (insert your own price) gets it".
There is the end the negotiating process, unless Brian was to buy it.
Having said that, I will say I have been a smartass before to offers, but it must be a ridiculously low offer.
To offer a man $12k for his '69 Camaro (mine) deserves a "kiss my a**".
Just my thoughts as I sit here all bored with cabin fever.

So the $1600 blower deal was not that Big of a deal..its a run of the mill blower( nothing speacial) and i know you were ribbing me with your Last post
..i am a good sport ( and you are from clinch Mtn..lol)...but what i did mean was that ED would need my Money loooong before i would need his ever so common Blower...lol i think you made a wise decision to accept the $7500 on your vega
as i have said in the past..we are dead in a Recession and Money just ain't changing hands like it was.....so it might come back to haunt some folks turning up their Nose at good cash offers.Money you turn down today you might need tomorrow..
thanks for all you guys replies.
yeah but i done went and spent it and then some on a rail/dragster!!LOL!!i need a trans/stall/headers before racing season,but the wife is about to kick my yoohoo!!LOL!!,,steve

Seriously, it has brought me a problem that I am not sure how to handle.
Wesley, my nine year old has had a couple dreams that something bad happened to me on the Harley, he wakes up before the outcome is revealed in the dreams. He has asked me on more than one occasion to not ride it,,,,jeeeeez,,,,,,kids!! I am not a believer in much that I can't see, but, you never know. You would be absolutely blown away at what Jay drew for me when he was around 8 years old.........I will post it in the military quotes thread.

I don't care that the story got mixed up, and I know Ken doesn't either. I am very happy that ya'll think enough of me to leave your opinion about the bike and Wesleys' dream on the table. Ya'll oldsters, (for lack of a better term and said with the utmost of respect) always give me a bit to think about. I do not necessarily fear death, but what I do fear, in all honesty is leaving this earth with my sons' still needing me to guide them.
I waited for many years to get this damn thing, now I am not sure I really want it. Man, life sure is funny :!: :!: :!: :!:

Rudy' just be careful, pretty scooter by the way. I'd like to have a hardtail chopper, but I'd kill myself on it. I had a 750 honda chopper when I was young, but never a real motorcycle. I do go down good though, it's my only talent on a motorcycle, is I go down real pretty, and OFTEN.

I took it as a man with lots of experience in life giving his opinion. In reality, everything you wrote is true :!: Thanks for the opinion my friend :wink:
