Default In My Darkest Hour...Help

Its strange how things change in a year.At this time last year i was in a position to acquire my 06 without fear of evernot being able to pay the payment.
Im sure as all of you will attest the economy sucks *** and we are all under a lil pressure with everything goin on lately. Ive had my hours significantly decreased to where im losing 800 a month and its finally taken its toll. I know i know...save save save...but there is nothing to save.
There isnt any other group of people who fight like a family or grieve like a family as we do here on the Forums. Its funny how the comment about 2 wheels moving the soul but im sure that everyone here can attest to that.Ive been on a bike for some time now and i know how liberating and relaxing it can be.
So i come to you my CBR family asking for help to give me just one more month to make things happen so i can keep on doing what we all love doing ...Riding Red...

Im sure ill be forever flamed for doing something like this but i know if any one understands the passion for motorcycles like this group does. Im asking for help even if its 1 dollar.

I need to raise a mere253.50 dollars to save my bike. I know254 doesnt seem like alot of money but right now to me and mine254 dollars is a matter of a beginning or and end. Im two months behind meaning one payment is 60 days late on the 24th.

Ive set up a paypal account and i have until the 24th to make payment arragnements. Im not asking for anyone person to bail me out but i will do everything within my power to repay all those who have helped me out in this time of need.

Id like to take time now to thank all of you who understand and above all helped my family out in this time of need.

If i have over stepped a new forum rule about donations. Im sorry but i have no where else to turn.

paypal email is kkoura@sbcglobal.net

Thank you for your time.

Im sorry that your in a bind. That must really suck. But if this is your first payment that you will miss then you have nothing to worry about. They are not going to take your bike over one missed payment.
Also Blindin never asked for donations. People stepped up and offered to donate. He just said they wererepoing his bike.

Well, for starters, Blinding never asked for it...he came to say goodbye and the forum members came up with the idea to bail him out.

I would be willing to help again, but this time I'm afraid I cannot. I'm closing on a house and have an uncertain future with my company, so I may be selling my bike very soon to make ends meet. Riding is great, but I'd rather be able to remain self-sufficient than ride...

I am seeing alot of people hurting right now. I know I am. I have been thinking over the last several months how much the sale of my bike would relieve some financial stress. I can at least sell my wife's bike before mine, even though I hope neither happens. Good luck to you, I wish I had some extra to help out.

I guess my real concern here is what are you going to do once you get the money? That takes care of this payment...but what about the next one, and the dozens to follow? I hate to say this to you, but I think it's time you start drafting some "For Sale" signs man, even if this solicitation is a success. Either way, good luck bro.

Everyone is in their darkest hour at this point. [&:]Sell it and get it over with. Then youll have your payment as "income" along with the insurance payment.

Solicitation..thats the word and i didnt mean for it to end up sounding like one and i do by all means understand your comments and concerns about my payments and the future.
Im not sure what the future holds for anyone.I do however know im out of options next to selling so its like last call and im not ready to go home yet.
Im sure things may work out but if they dont id like to know i tried everything i could possibly think of to make things happen.

im in a a rough spot too. i make enough to pay bills...that's about it. car payment, insurance, student loans, cell phone, credit cards, misc money owed to parents. i have little spending money at the end of the month. if i get a fat enough raise, i would love to get an f4i this year, but as of right now, i'm financially stuck in every way imaginable.

Im sad to see posts like this I really wish you good luck. Maybe there are some people that are not struggling in this weak econmy at the moment, i'm not one of them. I sold my bike to save money and cancelled insurance. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, come back to it later when the economy turns.

I love bikes, i miss mine, but things aren't doing so good right now for a lot of people in this country. I hope you sort it out.

I have no insurance and need to see a dentist so im screwed right beside you, saving pennies. A lot of people are hurting.
