So long, 250

Hero Danny · June 20th, 2014, 05:04 PM

Just sold my ninja 250 everyone.. I was fortunate enough to sell it for $1,500 which was my asking price. The girl who bought it was very nice. It was a good bike, and I must admit I am sad to see her go. I already feel cold feet and regret, as this was my first bike. But I didn't take a loss on the bike, I just about broke even with the price, all and all. The bike was running great and her boyfriend (who was against her getting a 250 in the first place) came back from the test ride and said "wow, I have no complaints, this is a beautiful machine." She handed me the money without saying a word about price.

Anyway, my search continues for a newgen and I am excited for the future. Thanks everyone for being around for me, means a lot. I hope to stay a part of this community for a many more years, as I'm going all in with my next bike so I will be sure it is something I want to keep for years to come

It's sad when people can't have two bikes.

Only 21, I still live with my parents. I have a tiny Arrow shed in the backyard which I store my Ninja in. No room for 2 even if I had the funds

Don't sweat it. You can ride my old one until I decide to get something different.

Good luck finding a new bike. Deals are hard to come by in Summer. Better deals can be found during the winter months.

You need at least five.

1. Sport bike
2. Long distance bike
3. Off-road
4. Dual sport
5. Vintage

I have found many a good deal b/c I left no stone unturned long after others went to the house. If you have the dream pursue it. That's all I can tell you. I will help if I can. This is the Confucious way of saying it.

During southern sex this would manifest itself as:

GET IT, DADDY!!! GET IT!!!
