nosrednaydujWell, apparently I'm selling it.
I haven't ridden it since I last posted about my motorcycle in May. There was one day that I thought I was going to, but then the appointment was canceled. Monday, I have a dentist appointment 7 miles away, which is sort of bicyclable, but a little far for a weekday morning.
A month ago I listed it on craigslist for $3000 after seeing that Kelly blue book thought it was worth $2750. Well, nothing happened, and I dropped the price once a week. And then, just as the ad was about to expire, some guy came and offered me $1900, and I told him I'd take $2000, and he said okay.
He came today to check it out, and gave me a deposit of $200 by Venmo, and he'll get me the rest of the money and come pick it up later this week. I think I'll say goodbye to it on Monday by riding to my dentist appointment.
Then, we will see how many times I am sad when the weather is good, I'm going somewhere alone, I don't need to take any cargo, and I can't do it by bicycle. If it turns out to be a moderate amount, or, I decide that even though it's not very many times, I am sufficiently sad, I will investigate electric motorcycles. Most likely, I will just be done.
