I am being forced to sell my beloved 1990 PC800 due to financial
reasons. I have not had a job in a while, and there are some bills
that must be paid. I even sold the first bike I evere owned, after
digging it out of it's hallowed corner of the shed.
On the plus side, I have a 1978 GS750, and a 1975 CB750 that I will be
able to get parts for. I also have a an '83 goldwing, that may become
parts.
I was wondering who else has lost motorcycles to the present economic
situation? Anybody know of any good jobs in motorcycles?
My Pacific Coast is on toledo craigslist if anyone wants to help out a
fellow biker.

Sorry to hear of your circumstances. I too had a 1990 PC800, and it
was a very neat, underappreciated motorcycle. Good luck with selling
yours. Don't know of any particular jobs in bikes, but if you work
on your own bikes and are good at it, you may be able to make a few
bucks wrenching on bikes where the owners can't or don;t wish to pay
full retail labor rates. You could try the "barter" or "services"
section in Craigslist and see if that garners any response.
Best of luck,
Tim

It's hard to know where to start pointing out the idiocy of this
posting....
