Well, I just sold the first motorcycle I ever had (and the only one). It was a 95 Ninja ZX6R. It was a great first bike. I have been riding for 7 years (parents bike), and bought that one 3 years ago.

I had been thinking about selling it for a while now. I dont get to ride it as much as I used to, and dont have a garage to keep it in any more, so it was just sitting in the hot sun almost all the time.

It was weird. After the last hurricane (Jeanne I think), I took it for a drive to make sure everything was running ok, and a kid from up the street sees me and comes to talk to me about it. He mentioned he has been thinking about buying a bike, and I mentioned I had been thinking about selling. I gave him my # and told him to call if he was serious, otherwise I will probably actively try to sell it after new years. Sure enough, he called me 2 days ago and said he had CASH and would take it. He picked it up last night (he trailored it because he doesnt know how to ride yet) and that was it. Done deal.

Now all day I have been thinging about it. I know in the next year or two I will have another, bigger, better bike. But that will always be my favorite. I just need to get ahold of my finances now, and this will greatly help.

Anyway, just thought I would rant about it.
