I can't believe I am doing this

Micknmd · 08-07-2012, 09:52 AM

I just bought a beautiful 2006 Nomad 1600 a few weeks ago and I have decided to put it up for sale. I just lost another buddy to a bike wreck and his wife who is one of my wife's best buddies is in hospital in pretty rough shape.

I am in Southern Ontario Canada and would like to sell it to someone local if possible but since the bike is so nice you may want to call from other parts of Ontario/Quebec as well.

You can reach me at kmcbain@rogers.com

Sorry to hear of the loss of your buddy and I wish and his wife the best of luck in her recovery.

Best of luck to you on a speedy sale as well.

Sorry to hear that you want to sell so soon. You might have better luck if you post a detailed description and some photos of your bike.

Sorry to hear your friend and his wife. Hope she recovers.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Hope his wife has a speedy recovery. Hate to hear you have decided to sell. Give it some time and maybe you will feel differently.

Sorry we did not get to know you very well. Certainly understand the concern and assume your wife has the same concern.

Prayers for your friend and his wife. Tragic.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend....but remember that the Good Lord has a plan for everyone, regardless of what you are driving, riding or doing at any particular moment. If it is not a bike wreck, it might be a car wreck or cancer or a heart attack. Think about it is all I am saying. You waited a long time for that bike and selling it will not bring your friend back or ensure everlasting life for you and your wife. When it is your time....it won't matter what you are doing when God calls you home. I truly wish the best for you and your surviving friend...all our prayers.

My deepest sympathies. You have our support no matter what you decide.

It will help to sell your Nomad if you can post some pix and a general description.

So sad .. but .. so many of our sports,jobs,hobbies, are risky. Think about what your buddy would say.
My sympathy to all affected ... lost two family members last summer due cancer
