Sold My Baby 5 Years, 6 Months ago  
Well... four days before the big move to Alaska, and a buyer finally swooped in and took my 2004 Midnight Star off my hands. Says he's been watching it on Craigslist for a while. That means he watched me lower the price from $6500 down to $5400 over the period of a month. He's a good guy though, a motorcycle tech, and I'm sure a soon to be clinic member.
Here's one last picture tribute to the best 6 months of riding I've had, over 5500 miles of VA twisties.

Know the feeling I sold my 07 to a guy the same way. He was happy to get it and he had a99 with 150 k on it that he kept. he put 3K on it this summer in one LONG trip. He make a long 3k ride some where every year. I still have my 05 so I am still happy. Good luck in Alaska get ya a good snow mobile.
