Default Thinking About Taking a Break

Well, I have been tossing around the idea about getting a truck I like, and a few other ideas. Well, then I decided I wanted to get my girl a real engagement ring, so we started looking at those. Well, to do this, I will have to sell the bikes. I found a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 I really liked today, and we have been shopping around for a ring she likes. Well, she found 2: one of them is $2457, and the other is $4368. Well, you should all know which one I like, haha. However, My truck is about $20k. And like I said, I would need to get rid of the bikes. But, they did offer to pay for the bikes off and then deal on the truck. I am really upside down in here bike, so it is nice they would pay them off, and then I would have my truck and she could have her ring. Or, I could sell my SUV and then pay off the bikes to where I would break about even and then solely worry about the truck. I dont know what to do. I really love the bike and all, I am just trying to think down the road ya know. I just kind of dont know what to do.

Ok, rant off.

Good luck making up your mind. This reminds me of the American Express commercial.

This guy is buying his girl a ring. but his card is over the limit. The girl said call American Express. What a biotch... The poor guy is in debt up to his eye ***** and the only way she will marry him is if he gets another card to pay for a ring! I'd walk out right there.

Not that your story is the same... just saying.

To give up the bikes for a truck and a ring. Sounds like our little D2 is growing up.

Life changes and priorities change.

If you do take a break... just make shure you come back!

1. If she loves you then she'd understand you love your bike/s..........................Ha what am I thinking. LOL


2. I think engagement rings are the dumbest thing to a wedding. The wedding band should be the only ring.

Thanks God he has been married once and will never be again.

What the hell can you do with a ring excpet wear it, lose it, or hock it.

But, hey, have fun and good luck.

What? You didn't know that all motorcyclist have tons of money blowing out of our butts. Well, thats what people tell me when they see I have two (got both cheap) bikes. Apparantly a $10k bike is some how more expensive than a $50k SUV. [sm=bangbang.gif]
