If you were anywhere near me, you would have the money in your hands by now.

Not my job to talk you out of giving your ride away.

So I took it for a ride yesterday with intentions of getting some video to post for people interested in buying... that didn't happen, just ended up riding the bike around for about 45 minuets.

Haha popwood, yes I am going to Mexico to mine gold. No the plan is to graduate early, I've got good enough grades to do that haha. Take a bartending class out there and learn more Spanish.

Jobs... are very hard to come by around here right now. I live in a town of 4,000 and right now farmers aren't looking for anyone. Stone masonry is a booming business in Colorado however, No one in viroqua let alone Vernon county has the money for masonry work. Vernon county is the 2nd poorest county in Wisconsin.

I'll try posting my mad masonry skills on craigslist and see if I get any bites, tried it once around here and got nothing but its worth a try.

All my friends can't believe the bike is up for sale either, after I put so much time into it.
If I get a part time job, or find a new way to get some money, the bike will no longer be for sale is what I have decided.
The problem is now is the time to sell, I wish I could wait another month or two to sell when I really need the money but people around here either dont buy bikes in the winter or will only buy them for a ridiculously low price.

Let me give a story about a guy... me!

Chris, a thoroughly studied metalsmith and art foundry worker (with a plethora of other skills) has got a 1976 cb750k.  All during his undergraduate career he was so busy and committed to his studies and art pursuits, that the bike sat quite a bit during the time it was in his possession.  It sat under his awning while he galavanted in England (twice) pouring cast iron for months on end, it waited while he drove cross country numerous times to study and teach at various art establishments, it cried when money needed to buy parts when towards 6 packs and pizza instead.  It waited.  It could have easily been sold to help pay off the thousands of dollars of student loans he still owes, or to help pay for a DUI he foolishly got himself into, or to pay rent for a warehouse space so he could have an easier time making his work, but alas, he held on to it.  It's sitting on a stand in my folks garage now, waiting for Hondamans ignition to come in and getting ready for some rewiring.  It's actually in the way.  But it's still there.

Dude, check your PM.  Sending you my address and phone number.  Come down to sun prairie sometime we'll get a bite, have a beer/coffee, stare at eachothers rides (ahem, project ride in my case :D ) and you'll rethink this... seriously.
