He aint heavy..He's my brother. But he is expensive!!
« on: June 18, 2008, 09:04:15 AM »
In order to save the portion of the family homestead my brother built is house upon, I ended up putting it in my name to secure an affordable payment fo him. Thus far he is in the hole with me: 1 year of insurance, and 2 mortgage payments.
Well I find out today his last mortgage payment (number 3) check bounced which now has drained my checking account well past zero and climbing with fees until I can get money in there by COB today.
So needless to say I have to sell my bike to get in the safe zone.

Here she is if interested:

Sorry about your luck! I know you are trying to do the right thing by your bro and I respect that but just be careful he doesn't drag you down too far...

Good luck with the sale though! Wish it was closer...

I would buy it if it was close to home, good luck and kick your bro's butt into gear before he ruins you.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.

Yeah, he needs to get it together. He is a very hard working individual, but he truly has the luck if the Irish (for those who don't know "Luck of the Irish" is generally bad). He went through a work accident and a divorce all at the same time a few years back which started this whole thing.
But he just can't seem to catch a break. The job and finacial outlook here in MI isn't very rosey at the moment so I know we aren't the only family with the money matters.

Yeah, sorry. The first guy who looked at it bought it. There were 2 others who were waiting for me to call them if he didn't buy it.

Not great video, but if you wanna know about "Luck of the Irish", you can't beat Belushi on SNL...

Good luck with the finances.  If you have to, call the creditors.  They're usually willing to work with you (if they think the alternative is getting nothing).   :-\
