Title: Big Dilemma Post by: SwampMonster on November 10, 2011, 10:16:02 PM So here is the story. I am about 75% done completely rebuilding my '95 m900 I mean doing about everything I ever wanted to do to it. Of course I find my dream bike for sale. It has been dropped but is so minor I really don't care about that (I actually allready have all the parts in my possesion to fix what is wrong). My question to you ppl in ya'll's collective wisdom/experience (hopefully with a situation like the one I am finding myself in) is what would you do. Drop the baby girl you have toiled over until no end and go for the dream bike or stay true? Please help I know she wont be up for sale long at all so let me know what you think.
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: Rameses on November 10, 2011, 10:23:18 PM Depends on what the dream bike is. Supermono? Hell yeah. Indiana? Mmmm, not so much. Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: kopfjäger on November 10, 2011, 10:29:47 PM Stay true and or make more room in the garage. ;)
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: zooom on November 11, 2011, 04:00:21 AM my votes would be 1st for Boobies of course and then option #3, to find a way to make both happen to coexist together in your possession...
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: thought on November 11, 2011, 05:38:57 AM i agree that we need to know what's the dream bike... but if it was truly my dream bike, i would get the dream bike. because if you dont you will keep on kicking yourself everytime you think about it.
it's a bit like what happened to me when i got my 796... i could have gotten a brand new 09 sf for the exact same price but decided not to. and everytime i saw a sf i was always wondering if i should have gotten that instead. and well... now i have a sfs :D Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: ManaloEA on November 11, 2011, 06:17:56 AM Go for the dream bike. Baby Girl can't sue you and take everything you own. ;)
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: bevel on November 11, 2011, 09:08:03 AM Option #3 - do whatever it takes to have both.
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: hillbillypolack on November 11, 2011, 10:09:17 AM Option #3 - do whatever it takes to have both. This. If the mysterious dream bike is the same model as the one you're working on, keep what you have. You know it inside and out. If it's a different model, do what you can and just get it. Sell stuff, small (read responsible) loan, etc. Life is far too short and riding years even shorter. What will you tell your grandchildren? Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: SwampMonster on November 11, 2011, 07:12:17 PM OK so the mystery bike is a Foggy. Maybe not everyone's dream but owning one of three hundred really appeals to me not to mention I have wanted a four valver ever since getting my '95. Thanks for the input.
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: lazylightnin717 on November 11, 2011, 07:14:57 PM Get the Foggy
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: fastwin on November 11, 2011, 07:16:50 PM Both. [thumbsup] [Dolph]
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: DukeDenver on November 11, 2011, 07:44:09 PM Foggy, I'd give my left nut for a foggy....maybe the right one too ;D [laugh]
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: thought on November 11, 2011, 07:46:26 PM get the foggy and sell off the old girl if you can... having two monsters in the garage doesnt really make sense to me. a monster and something else a bit more focused does however.
Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: Goat_Herder on November 11, 2011, 09:25:54 PM trade up to a Foggy!

Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: psycledelic on November 11, 2011, 11:12:41 PM FOGGY!

Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: zooom on November 12, 2011, 04:51:58 AM Boobies! [thumbsup] It's traditional. F'n noobs with no boobies option [roll] my votes would be 1st for Boobies of course and then option #3, to find a way to make both happen to coexist together in your possession... I said it 1st!... I'd get the Foggy and still keep the 95, but go radical with it...make it everything the Foggy isn't! Title: Re: Big Dilemma Post by: jerryz on November 12, 2011, 05:21:06 AM no to compromise .....go for both !!!!!!!!!!!!if you sell the old one you will regret it .

I'd get the Foggy and still keep the 95, but go radical with it...make it everything the Foggy isn't! +1 The Foggy is cool, but you _have_ to keep it pretty close to stock to maintain maximum coolness... That means you have to fit the clipons/carbon wheels/Ohlins/hi comp pistons/flatslides/MBP heads/composite brakes/wild cams/titanium spaghetti exhaust/deseamed tank/custom paint/trick dash/etc - to the '95. big |
