ULPT - Get rid of a motorcycle

Posted by Petalene_Bell@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 42 comments

Sis has a crappy 1980’s motorcycle that doesn’t run. Donation places have declined. Shed prefer to have her hands washed of it. Any suggestions?

I had a free motorcycle at a garage sale once. No registration, didn’t run and likely would never run. Two guys fought over it, winner literally pushed it away.

Idk about unethical, but there are motorcycle junkyards and they'd probably take a donation. Also, near us the airsoft fields love to have junk vehicles as props/cover.

Airsoft and paintball fields is a good one, didnt think of that.

Put it on the curb for sale $500. Someone will steal it.

Def need to know the make model to answer this.

Is it insured? Be a shame if it got stolen

I suggested that as a joke. Not sure if she thought that was a horrible idea or if it has some potential.

Well you did say you’re in San Francisco… leave it outside for a few hours.

Have you tried parking it on the street and putting a "free" sign on it?

Is $100 really enough to deal with 500 "Is this available?" messages?

[-]

You don't put any contact info, you set a date / time and say first come first serve and you wait for the first person to show up. Take the ad down soon as it's gone. Even better instead of listing for flat $100 say it's best offer starting at $100.

Look up a non-dealetship motorcycle repair shop. Tell them what you have, tell them it's free. They will either come get it for parts or they'll know someone who wants it

Stick the keys in it and put the title in an envelope and tape it under the windscreen and stick a big sign on it. It'll be gone in 20 minutes

Im on the other side of the country. Or I would’ve taken it

FBM for 200$, take whatever first lowball offer you get.

andytagonist@reddit

Would be a shame if it were stolen and an insurance claim filed…

Spazecowboy@reddit

Scrap yard? Or free on marketplace or Craigslist

[-]

razzemmatazz@reddit

It's a rebel? Offer it for free on CL. If it has a good title people will swarm you.

[-]

Simply push it out onto the street, maybe a away from your place, let the city tow it away,

[-]

Sadly ethical, but find the FB groups for that make and model of bike, post it there for free.

[-]

superduperhosts@reddit

She wants it gone. What do YOU want?

[-]

Petalene_Bell@reddit (OP)

I just want to help. She asked for suggestions on how to get rid of it. I have no idea. I figured the internet might have some good ideas or at least some funny ones. If she suddenly decided to keep it and fix it up, she’s an adult and more power to her. It has no impact on my life what she chooses to do with it. :)

I'll come get it if you live near St. Louis.

Petalene_Bell@reddit (OP)

Nope. San Francisco Bay Area. Sorry!
