i went thru this.. keep it mate.. you might clear a few debts, but you won't rest your soul.. Money comes and goes, but rides last forever, and it's just money.. live for now dude!! But sometimes we have to do what you have to do.. hope you make the right choice

Didn't know you were this intelligent "Oh Orange One."

Rep on your way.

Seriously Steve - keep the bike. So when you pay of your debt you will have a bike smiling at you smiling at it. Instead of a piece of paper thanking you Cust No. 12345 for clearing your account.

Life is short.

Cant you sell the TRX instead?
WHAT!! Are you kidding??? :woohoo: My race bike I have just spent about 5 grand on? I still have my little Fizzer 250. Not that I feel inspired to ride that. But would be a means of riding with the wahine if need be

Juggle your funds or get a consolidation loan, pimp your self out, sell body parts (not your own as it might upset your balance) whatever.
If you sell your bike it might take you years to get another one!
Someone will offer you a good price for your gear (as your not using it) and then you will have to replace that as well.
Next minute your 45 with 3 kids getting fat, drinking beer, while watching TV on a Sunday when the GP comes on. Pure pain!
You haven’t ridden in years, your partner says "Over my dead body" And think of the mortgage!
Now what do you do?
Keep it.
If you have to ask, and you asked us, you know the answer!

last time i had that many demerit points, i traded down to a slower bike for a few years. worked a charm.
I realise that she's your baby, but for the same money would you want anything else? if so sell her, and buy your dream bike once the debt is gone.

No-one will suggest you sell your bike .... no matter what the reason ... it's just not cricket!

You alone will have to make that call. Good Luck with that.

If you sell it your flesh will rot, your hair will migrate to your nose and your dick will wither and shrivel.
