Not use it against it you.
I think it's a shame that commuting is going to taint your experience with bikes since there's more to be had. No possibility of having one and just not commuting a la hatch?
- Mike - 08-31-2006
would rather have 4k in savings than two toy vehicles. the hatch will probably get sold soon too.

hrug: i just feel like he can decide for himself - it's not for everyone. i'm hoping he gets back on so i can finally go riding with him. 
- Apoc - 08-31-2006
So then you'd only have one.
Call me selfish but I think the more the merrier when it comes with this kinda stuff. I mean I may be wrong but isn't the reason you know most of the people here because of cars (and bikes)? I know tracking and bikes are the be-all end-all of hobbies but it's the reason most of us know each other. Ultimately everyone has to do their own thing, it's just a shame to see you drift away from the stuff we all like to do.

cars - i have reached the end of what i can afford. i could do track days or instruct, but i haven't felt like i was really learning much my past few weekends. i'd like to race, but it just isn't a good financial decision at my age.
bikes - mainly wanted one to save on gas (commute). since there are a billion idiots on the road at that time, that doesn't really work out (as i have found). i do not feel comfortable tracking a bike.
i've gotten back in to running, met a nice girl, pretty much stopped my partying habits, play very few video games, read a lot, spend free time getting better at my job (learning new things, reading books, etc)... i guess i'm just growing up and looking towards the future (house, family, etc). i still get to drive a sports car to work today; all is not lost.

Welcome to my world... all that's left is the marriage certificate.

such is life.

awe mikey is growing up... i guess we'll have to take away the mikey rules now... he's making educated choices... thats not the mikey i know!
- Mike - 08-31-2006
so if i sell the bike and hatch... that is a lot of money lying around. a turbocharged s2000 would be pretty cool, huh?
- Apoc - 08-31-2006
Pretty much defeats the "money in savings" purpose, no?
Take it from me... if you want to blow cash, find better ways than modifying your dd.

Wow - I just checked up on this thread for the first time in a while.
I'm sorry to hear that you're not comfortable with the risk level of street riding, Mike, but I completely respect your evaluation. It's always going to be something only borderline rational anyways, and you're at the point in the learning curve that, I think, really makes riding the most dangerous. I saw the bike in the garage yesterday without the plastics on it, and man, it would make a mean streetfigher! *nudge nudge*
Good luck with whatever direction the rebuild takes. If you do decide to sell it you shouldn't have a problem with such a great bike. It'll be a shame not to be able to go riding with you, though.
Oh right, and glad that you're healed up good!
- Mike - 09-05-2006
damn right that thing looks good without the fairings... when i took them off i was like "whoa, not half bad!"
- Mike - 11-14-2006
yesss lots of parts on ebay right now!
- .RJ - 11-14-2006
Are you still going to sell it?
- Mike - 11-14-2006
on the fence.
