Hello from Seattle,
I always want a motorcycle for its freedom and excitement. Financial responsibility has held me back from getting one until now.
I was glad that I waited anyway. Now that I’m in my mid-20s, I can comfortably own my first motorcycle with disposable incomes and don’t have to cheap out on gears. In fact, I took a MSF class and bought all the gears prior to even shopping for a motorcycle, so that I wouldn’t blow all my money on the bike first.
Anyway, here’s my first bike. She’s from 1990 with less than 9,500 miles of history. Previous owner must have kept it in a very good shape, at least in the appearance. I can’t speak for its mechanical condition with my close to none knowledge in motorcycle maintenance, but it fires up without a problem. (Back at the dealership, the engine wouldn’t fire up... because the salesman forgot to turn the petcock to on
)
She’s a beauty. I might get bored of the small engine, but hey, I got it for $1,200 plus tax, and I can probably sell it for close to the same. Or I’ll just keep it till it dies.
Cheers!
P.s. sorry about the large image. The bbcode I used doesn’t seem to resize it.
