for sale.

[bugjuice]

one incredably loved bugjuicer aka an orange 636.

I've had a heap of pm's in the space of a few hours of starting the auction, so I might as well come clean. I originally didn't post, cos I'm not one to draw attention in times like this, despite the bike drawing the attention for me..

This has been one of the worst decisions I've had to make in recent years, but it's got to the point where most of my wages are going to pay off the bike, and I'm not getting any help paying off the car either. Long story, and I've been told it'll change, but I can't wait for things to change any longer. I can't even afford the most basic of things at the moment, so I need a change of pace. I'm miserable at the moment, not having any money for anything, and I'm miserable to ride it knowing how many k's I'm putting on a beautiful machine. I know it's there to be ridden, but still can't help feeling that way. When I'm riding it tho, there's nothing better in the world, and that includes sex at the moment. Again, another long story.

If it doesn't sell, then I'll just have to keep going and see where fate takes me, but if it does sell, then it'll clear a lot of debts for me and help me back on my feet. I can ride the winter out in some shit heap of a cage, then come early summer, I should be able to have saved to buy a late 90's 600 outright and keep some sort of life.

It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all

That's really sad, Bugjuice. I really hope things work out for you in the long run, and that it's not long before your financial woes are sorted and you can buy another MeanMachine.

Keep your chin up, fella.

[scumdog]

A sensible approach matey, point of thought, could you dumb-down your cage any more and get a 'dunger' or is the cage at that level already?

And yes, heartbreaking having to sell the virtually new bike but you will still be able to get another tidy older bike if you look carefully around.

Warning: Watch you don't end up doing as you plan and STILL end up in the same impecunious (broke) state you are in at present, it's too easy to do, believe me, - unless you're disciplined.
Good Luck

[FEINT]

Kit,

Hope all is well mate. At least by the end of winter you should have a 95 ZXR600 running! Sorry for your loss and I hope everything works out for you dude. Good luck with the sale.

[wildcat_lgf]

Big pity...shame about the bike, its Gorgeous with a capital G, believe me if I had spare $$$ I would be tempted - you could always trade down to my bike and I could trade up he he

Sorry to hear about the money situation...

[bugjuice]

Thanks for the encouragement guys..
the current cage is a nice tidy Impreza wagon, but the car has to be quite well equiped and safe as it carries other peoples' kids. I don't want other parent's world in some wreck of a car should the worst happen. My 'gf' is a nanny so needs a decent car. She quit her job just before Christmas and has been doing temp here and there. She is trying to find another full time job, and said she can then start to pay off the car, but it's too little too late. Either I go down with a fight, or just give up with a bike under me crotch.. I know which I'd prefer, but in times of need..

[jazbug5]

Really sorry to see this- but kudos for being brave enough to bite the bullet. At least you've had a bucketful of fun for a while; you will again, too.
Want to buy my old GN...? (Thought that might make you laugh through the tears..!)

[Motu]

Sell your car and bike,buy a dunger 4 wheeler for $500,and a good bike for less than $1500.In my strapped for cash days I swapped the CB750 for a Hillman Hunter for the wife,and rode a C50 step through I was given for free for 7 years - I don't need an expensive or powerful bike to enjoy riding...riding anything is pleasure enough for me....

[Madguitarist!]

Hang tuf dude, know how that feels.... having been at uni now for 5 yrs (VERY LONG STORY). If it was a fireblade would take it off you in an instant...seeing how well you looked after it!

But if there is anything at all you need just give a holler!!
(mean it bro!)

Cheers........

gutted dude. been there dun that only difference was i refused to sell the bike just put it on restoration reg hold. But I wasnt paying it off either.
how much will you lose selling it now ? does the car suk back gas ? Is it worth it ?

hopefully I won't loose too much. It's not even a year old. fuk, didn't realise that even! The first owner bought it in July/August, then I picked it up Sept 11
I don't pay for the gas the car uses. That sucks about a tank a week. The car will probably end up going too, but can't go without having a car, so it'd have to overlap. But can't buy another car without money. So who knows.. After selling the bike, we can find something safe, but cheaper, and sell the wagon. Then things should pick up from there.
I can't help but compare it to a game of monopoly. You know times are tough, so if you don't pull up, you pull out. My cards are showing rough, so I need a change of game plan to try and win

[Ixion]

Sorry to hear that man. Hard to have to make those sort of decisions. What Mr Motu said.

[FROSTY:Me]

before ya make the supreme sacrifice mate---come see me. I may be able to help. --Keep in mind what I do for a job.

[enigma51]

sorry to hear mate that is a pretty bike if it a was 1000 I would have bought it off you (Looking for a 1000cc next). If you feel like going for a ride and need a bike give me a call and you can take my SUZUKI for a spin then at least you can experience a real motorcycle. No only joking but seriously if you want to go for a ride to get your mind off things give me a yell I have seen you ride and know that you will take care of my honey!

[badlieutenant]

my car and bike even tho they are old(ish) cost 4000 for both. the car (when it decides not to hang out in featherston) is reliable and goes A to B and the bike, well yourv seen my bike, its not purty but I have alot of fun on it and isnt the slowest thing on the block. there are options even tho it probably feels like yourve run out of them.
