I dont want to!
« on: September 23, 2009, 06:57:06 am »
my bike...... is for sale.
I have almost talked myself out of it already.  I just really need some cash.

I thought I would post one last photo of the bike, I havent been around the forums much because I spent two months in Colorado without a computer... and without my bike.

Talk me outta it guys!

Has learned so far that..."complete" gaskets are never complete no matter where you get them, VHT Silver Case Paint is just as durable as painting your motor with chalk and cheap tire irons used with rim protectors are useless on 30 year old tires.

Sell your Lakai's (shoes), not the bike.

Sell something, just not the bike.

You need to go for a nice long ride and talk it over with your bike, then decide.
I'm sure you'll make the right choice.

Any place in your area doing plasma? Most will usually pay you for it. Around here, a person can get 60-70 clams for 2 donations which take about 1.5 hours each.

+ 1

You can usually donate two or three times a week. Hell, who needs a job? ;D

I love this bike so much.... but its not just that I need money, I'm also moving to mexico.
I wonder what kind of restrictions they have on bringing bikes or cars in.

Oh and its up for $950 right now.

I doubt it's too difficult.  Lots of people in Mexico come across the border to buy cheap cars and trucks to take back with them.

Serious? Go get a part time weekend job at lowes or home depot for a month and you will have made that. #$%* post your mad masonry skills on craigslist (IE: will build front walk way, etc etc). If its about money your bike is probably one of the last things you own that is worth it to sell.

I dont think I understand your thought process... The only reason I can fathom you would sell your bike because of a move to mexico is so you could boxes of ketchup to take with. Mexico has horrible ketchup.. that their would prevent me from moving.

This is true. I've seen convoys of Mexicans driving mini vans in various conditions down the interstate lol

So what's your plan, man, or do you have one?  Been doing itinerant masonry work-- going snowboarding-- moving to Mexico-- sell the bike-- don't sell the bike. Seems like you need to establish some priorities. Why you going to Mexico? College? A job? Learn Spanish? Mine gold?

It appears you are begging us to talk you out of it-- and you know we would try. So I don't think you really want to sell it. What's $900? That's a few weeks work at most. Forget the snowboard trip-- that's $400 my guess.

Like the Spoonful aksed . . .  Did you ever have to make your mind? Well, yes.

Guess I'm showing my age, sorry.

Don't do it, you'll regret it in less than a month. Oh and you will also be looking for another one with in 3months. Ask anyone on here, once motorcycles get in your blood their is no cure. Its whole heartly up to you to sell or not, but if the only reason your selling it is because your moving or heaven forbid a damb snow boarding trip. I have to agree  with the others get your priorities straight

Before this last string, I had a 27 year gap where I didn't have a bike. Lost my endorsment. Had to take the stupid test again. Marriage and kids do that. Priorities. Now, old age forced me to try to get some of that back. Do what you feel you must do. You can always pick up a bike. Maybe a better one.
