Sold the Buell today.

t-homo · 06-15-2008, 08:11 PM

Well, I sold the Buell Blast today. She was good to me, for the most part. Got her with 1080 miles on it the last day of last June last year. By August, I had 2200 miles on her. Took her down to school with me and the speed sensor stopped working. So I don't have any clue how many miles I put on her. I am guessing around 2500 from me. Got the speed sensor and tires all replaced this spring. The day before I was going to sell her, about a month ago, I got a tank of bad gas causing that deal to fall through. It's ok though, he was a faggot anyway. So today a kid my age and his dad came over to look at it. Both got their permits a couple of weeks ago and are going to share the bike. I paid 1600 for it, got tires for about 250 and a speed sensor for 60. So, other than gas I had just over 1900 dollars in it. Sold it today for 1700 dollars with 2309 shown miles and 95% tread tires on it. Today was a good day.

sounds like you did alright on that deal. You gonna buy another or just roll the R1?

t-homo · 06-15-2008, 08:32 PM

The R1 is more than I need. Why the hell would I need something else too? Actually, I would like to get a 600 pure track bike, then ride the R1 on the street, but that will have to wait until after college when I am raking in the cash.

I get what your sayin, funds are tight when you are in college. If I could afford to I would have a garage full of bikes.

t-homo · 06-15-2008, 08:45 PM

Well my major is the most common to graduate with a starting of over 100K a year, so give me 5-6 years and I will be doin alright.

rider76 · 06-15-2008, 08:51 PM

whats your major?

t-homo · 06-15-2008, 08:53 PM

Finance. It includes investments, banking, real estate, and insurance. I am going to focus on the investments. I am also getting my MBA.

rider76 · 06-15-2008, 08:57 PM

sweet. When I get out of the AF.... whenever that happens, I got a couple of leads that will double my salary...

t-homo · 06-15-2008, 09:01 PM

Bet you can't wait for that. What are they involving?

rider76 · 06-15-2008, 09:13 PM

Well right now I am Security Forces... A MP if you will. I have been to Iraq 3 times now, securing property, people and convoys. On my last deployment that ended a month ago, I got hurt... fucked up my knee, I find out tommorrow if I have to have surgery.. So If I am not to fucked up when I get out, I have a lead with the TSA a management position.

If I am too fucked up, I will use my G.I bill to go to college. In Illinois if you are a vet you get free tution to any state college. So I get free school then about another 1000ish a month from my G.I bill, plus V.A disablity, what ever that is. So either way I have a plan. I like my first option the best though
