They are never worth what you have invested, if emotions are involved I suspect it will just sit. If I owned it, I'd ride it a few times a year but I'd save it because I think in 10 years it would be worth what their asking now.

I cannot provide all the excuses, just the ones that should work. It's like Beth using a coupon for something even if we don't NEED it. She saved money, right? I mean, nevermind that we could have saved 100% by not buying stuff at all, but I digress

Sure is a pretty transmission in that bike, wonder where they got it.
