To Sale or not to Sale.

[SKIPPYSLEDDER]

So I blew out my knee last night playing softball (my summer sport for old guys) and now it looks like surgery to repair torn tendons (ACL,PCL,MCL) So the question is, should I sale my 09 Dragon with less than 400 miles and a few mods and get out of the $200.00 a month payment? Or, just leave it in the garage for a year and get the fabled engine work done when they are ready and keep it till I can ride? I owe about 10,000 on it and I know I can't get that for it but I am really struggling with what to do. Anyone looking for this machine? What kind of cash would it bring?

2009 Dragon 800 155
SLP Pipe, can, and Y pipe
Torque rod, LH side
W/S bag
Lanyard switch
Clutching primary and secondary

Let me know if anyone is interested.

your going to have to make up the difference when you take a $2-3000 hit anyway so you might as well keep it

 

[adrenaline junkey]

with the current sled prices i would just keep it. a lot of peeps giving sleds away are still stuck with them. No chance any of your insurances will covering the payment?

 

[tdanks76]

Yeah I would keep it. There is no way your going to get 10,000 for it. Plus, what will you ride once your knee is better?

I know excactly what you are going through, my back is going out and I just built my quad and only got to ride it one day. and I have a 09 dragon as well. I have gone through the same thoughts but I won't get my money back out of them or will I beable to get them back so I'm keeping mine that way they will be there when I can go

If you're concerned you won't be able to ride this winter because of the knee, I wouldn't be. I had my ACL rebuilt late last August and was fine for snowmobile season. Got a little sore first couple of rides but still put on 2000+ miles last year. Just do the therapy like they tell you and you should be OK.

Well I feel bad for you. I would keep it, that way when you are on crutches, you can still look at it and pet it in the garage. lol

Good luck

Had the same surgery like 4 years ago. Your re-hab is the most important thing. Get walking on your leg no less than a week later (obviously not full pressure, but some, its gonna hurt like hell!) After my surgery I was on a sled like 4 weeks later. You'll need some buddies to help you get unstuck and you won't be jumping off 20ft cornices or anything but its still possible. Might help that I was 25 yrs old, but oh well.

Thanks for all the info. I'm sure I will keep it. I'm in the poor me mode for a minute or two. I'll get over it.
