I say "old" as a very lucrative term, I'm really very unsure of how old it is. But it is a HUGE bike and I'm a bit worried for her safety...especially because she's small, not very strong, and she has a bad back. All that aside, I'm very excited for her. Ever since my family took a vacation and went through the Black Hills during a motorcyle expo of sorts, my mom and I have been OBSESSED with getting motorcyles. And that was a LONG time ago.
Anyways, all of this has got me thinking about my plans. I've been seriously thinking about getting a motorcyle of my own, ever since I was telling my coworker that after Jake and I get back from Afghanistan I want to buy a motorcyle and he told me I could probably find a good starter bike for $700. My mother inspired me to do some research today, and I found that $700 is a BIT ridiculous. However, I'm EXTREMELY excited and obsessed with the kind of bike that I want now. It's a Kawasaki Ninja 250 (I don't get a lot of motorcyle lingo yet, but I know that 250 is pretty small for a motorcyle). Here's the bike in the color that I would love to have:
During all this research I decided to do some research about cars too, because I've been thinking about selling my 2006 Saturn Ion and getting a cheaper SUV of some sort...this summer. So, I did some research on what I might be able to get for my car, and what I might be able to aford after selling my car.
Ok, so here is my car:
And here's the car I want to get when I sell the Ion:
I'm very excited thinking about what I might be able to accomplish this summer. My car has some damage on it that, to be able to get a good price on it, I would have to fix. It stinks because ALL of the damage is completely not my fault. It's right side panel is completely busted out in the front from my aunt who has a blind eye, and her husband was the car's owner before me when she crashed it. There are also two huge scratches on the hood that are most likely from a trailer hitch of a big truck that backed unto the hood and backed off of the hood while I was parked at work, and they didn't leave me any of their information.
Anyways, depending on how much I can get for my car I might be able to get an SUV and a motorcycle this summer. It alllll depends on how much I save and how much I decide I want to pay my uncle for my current car (which I bought from him). If I decide I'm just going to get my car and bike and give him whatever is left, I might not have much to give him. This is actually ok because right now I only pay him about $50 a month and he's fine with that. It WOULD be nice to pay him off, but I know I will be able to do that eventually. Probably not until Jake and I come back home from the middle east (which is an entirely different part of my future that I am very excited about).
I just wanted to share some of my dreams with you...this is something I'm thinking about right now, and that Jake and I have been talking and discussing for the last...two hours maybe? He loves to talk about cars.
Speaking of cars, here's the "car" Jake wants to get when we get back from our trip to the desert:
And on that note, thanks for "listening" to my hopes and dreams.

You can get a motorcycle and I'll make Phil get his license and then we can just borrow yours every few weeks to get our fill of thrill. :-]
ReplyDeleteI miss riding them....so much fun.
That is so sweet! I have always thought about getting a motorcycle. I think it would be great! :) My Dad used to have one when I was little, and I just thought it was the coolest thing!
