Hi chaps, I ain't been on here for quite a while..... Cutting to the chase, my youngest son has cancer. After over a year of GP visits and months in hospital they found out he has a very, very rare form of peripheral T cell lymphoma (only 40 cases could be found that had been documented worldwide)
We have finally got Danny home after a 10month hospital visit..... This has set is back in the region of £10k due to a 70mile round trip to the hospital, a mobility scooter, a car to take the scoot + parking + our meals etc. you get the picture.
Danny is ecstatic to be out of hospital as most of his stay has been in isolation and its very humbling to see the pleasure in just being outdoors so I have decided to get a mobile home so we can take Danny away for short trips while he is able. Unfortunately this means my Tuono is going to have to be sacrificed to purchase a camper as we have used what savings we had.
So I have a 56 plate gen 11 with 9k on the clock, twin akro's, power commander 3, custom mapped, dynojet quick shifter, k&n, r&g tail tidy, puig screen, renthal sprockets (15/42) beowulf stainless rad guard, Oberon slave cylinder, shorty gold levers, touring pillion seat with handles, seat cowl and brand new Dunlop SportSmarts.
Do I strip it back to standard spec and try selling the parts separate or would there be any benefit in selling it 'as is'? As it is only going to fund a camper for Danny what do you think of looking to part ex at a dealers or advertise for a private 'swap' online?
Thanks if you have taken the time to read this, I'm totally gutted about letting the T go but it's not even a problem as its for Danny.... He's now 17 and bigger than his dad but he's still my little trooper
