Street Triple is sold..

I loved this bike so much that I thought I would keep it forever, but after I moved away from my riding buddies I lost interest in riding except for the occasional ride to work.

I'm not sure what happened, but my right hand started going numb after 10 minutes of riding no matter what I tried with my grip (tighten/loosen/loosen even more) and the angle of my forearm, I realized it was time to sell when the thought of riding no longer called to me.

I discovered there was zero interest in my area for this bike since I live in cruiser country. Maybe the waning interest overall for 2 wheeled transportation due to the dangers of sharing the road with inattentive drivers on their smart phones was the culprit, but I wanted to get out of this bike before my son got old enough to learn to ride and I wanted to use the cash to help me find an NC Miata.

I should have sold the bike last year or the year before when the book value was higher but the timing did not work out for me.

I discovered a company called Rumble on that was offering to purchase any motorcycle so I did a little research and discovered they were a legitimate company so I went to their website and filled out the online appraisal. Sent them 6 pictures and got an offer the following business day.

Certainly, the offer was not great but after trying to sell on several sites for 2+ years I already knew there was no interest in my area unless I dropped the price much lower. I had no interest in dealing with tire kickers or even joy riders and I was prepared to trade in the bike on a Miata but after 6 months, there were none available locally in the price, year and color I wanted. With my hands going numb, the prospect of riding 200+ miles to check out a car in another state, I realized that I needed to sell first.

After I accepted the offer from Rumble On, they sent me a link for additional pictures of my title, registration and a utility bill which was followed by an email with some forms to fill out and a fedex next day shipping label.

I FEDEXed the signed bill of sale along with my original title and hoped that I didn't get scammed.  Fedex Tracking informed me they received my documents in the morning and by the end of the day, I have a wire transfer showing as pending in my checking account. WHOO HOOO!

I submitted my appraisal on Monday night and by Thursday evening, I had the cash deposited in my checking account. They still need to come get the bike, but I don't know when this will happen.

I think from a convenience factor, it's well worth the price they offered even though it was a few hundred less than the amount a local car dealer offered me for a trade on a Miata (which I decided to pass on).

Rumble On is legitimate.... and it's safe to send them your original title (a major concern for most people with opinions on working with them).
