WHY!?!?! WHY?!?!? WHY!?!?!
« on: May 27, 2013, 04:49:57 AM »
WHY must I always come across fantastic deals on motorcycles when I don't have the money to spend on them?

A guy I know has a '99 CBR1100XX Blackbird in awesome shape that he's selling for $3000. Right now I don't have $300... oh well...

Don't worry about it mate, they weren't that great anyway. (actually, they were frigging awesome! Oops, sorry..........) ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

$3K is really not a whole lot of money.  If you really want it, I'm sure you could find a way to beg, borrow or trade for it (dont steal).

Craigslist surfing is my daily frustration, so many toys, so little time. 

I could use bigger lathe, definitely milling machine, sidecar would be handy, a little moped just for fun  ;D ;D
