Default Back Online, But may have to sell the bike.

Yup I'm back!!!

May have to sell my bike to make ends meet tho. I'm not happy about this one bit

Looking to get $2500 for it, 00 Cbr F4, 03 F4i tail, RR swingarm, D&D exhaust, approx 56k on er, savaged title (or so I think, could be a odo discrepancy).

This is just a feeler on the price atm.

I keep looking for other ways to get by but none are working out thus far.

This just really sux!!!

I could never be without a bike. Times are tough, and I think about it a lot. . .but, it's gotten me through some really tough times already, and nothing fixes what's on your mind quite like a bike does. . .I'd honestly rather be a drifter with a bike and a tool kit panhandling for spark plug money than have to go without a bike ever again. .

I hope things work out, buddy. Wish I could do more to help. . .

If it was just me I'd sell just about everything else but the bike lol.

Playful! WTF you gotta do what you gotta do in the end!

Life comes first and all that that entails

I FEEEEL for you , and can't belive it , but it's just a pause , a moment between the rush .

You'll ride again , and next time it'll be soooo much sweeter , because you'll have anticipated the thrill! Anticipation is half the pleasure , just imagine how sweet it's gonna be next time

Stay here and be a friend.

Times have been tough for me before. Bad enough I got down to the pawn shop route. Seriously, I'd find another route. It didn't do me any good until I was in the final stretch. When I knew I just had to make it one more week before I got the first paycheck at a new job.

Do what you feel you have to do PG. I've kept a promise to myself that I'd never go the route of selling important things to make ends meet again. I never got those things back , losing some extremely important things, and just made things worse with added depression. I've done day and graveyard manual labor (cleaned garbage trucks at the dump) to make ends meet. Smelly but kept my PS3 and flatscreen (thank God)
