There are a lot of straight roads where you live!

I sold my '03 Ninjette two wees ago. There are things I miss about it and there are things I don't miss (like near-zero torque from a stop). All in all, it was a cool bike. And it taught me that 250ccs are plenty for daily riding, and fun to boot.

For me, three bikes was one too many. Either the Ninjette or the '05 KLR250 had to go. Tough choice, but one I'm comfortable with.

Was that the pedo from Family Guy inside your helmet at the start?!

Haha, yes. Yes it was! Shame I didn't have a proper mic yet.

Ya, its sad. I wish there were some mountains and winding roads.

Oh well, you can always get another one. They're so cheap

Btw, please invest in a mic... Your audio is atrocious.

I've only ever regretted selling one vehicle. My 1990 Toyota pickup that I rebuilt from the ground up into a purpose built rock-crawler. I think I had at least 500 man hours into that thing.

As long as your bike isn't one of a kind, you can always replace it.

I am amazed you were able to sell a vehicle you put 500+ man hours into, I'd regret that as well

iamjacob · March 28th, 2015, 10:44 PM

Yeah, a mistake of my youth combined with a stack of hundred dollar bills.

Not a mistake I would ever make again.

adouglas · March 29th, 2015, 05:01 AM

I regret selling mine all the time.

But I do love my current bike.

ryker · March 29th, 2015, 05:23 AM

I'll never get rid of my 250r, I guess I'll just have 2 bikes when I upgrade.

This is how I feel about the 300.

verboten1 · March 29th, 2015, 02:56 PM

I haven't sold a bike yet. I do keep getting new ones though, lol

crazymadbastard · March 29th, 2015, 03:57 PM

Keeping mine, chopping the chit out of it. Will get something bigger, but still keep this one.
