So, I've almost payed of my brand new bike, they said it would take 5years,  but i did it in about 1.  I don't like debt, which i guess is a good thing.

Well, now for the bad news, in the past month, i totaled my car, got a new job that requires a car, bought a car and on top of all that got into grad school.  Basically I am hurting for cash, and was wondering what i could get for my 07 M695 if push came to shove.  It is in great condition except for 2 minor issues, one there is a bit of scraping on the lowest part of the right side exhaust can.  As the dealer put it "the o s*%t sensor" from cornering a little hard.  The second, i am getting fixed, a slight nick from a rock that a truck chucked at me on the freeway. 

Just curios what my  baby would fetch, if push comes to shove.

Hopefully this won't happen, but i kinda need to know

I wouldn't part ways with it just yet. With gas at $5/Gal, the bike is going to be very beneficial. When you say you have to have a car for your job, do you mean because you're always hauling stuff, or because of distance? If it's just a distance thing, use the bike. You can always join a care share, Like Zip-car, and then you'll have a roof when the weather is foul.

I haven't had a car in over 10 years, and my last commute was 100 miles, round trip, daily. And that was on a 916, rain or shine. (My girlfriend has a 4Runner, so now I have a car by default. )

Give it some serious long term thought before you decide to sell.

Grad school is supposed to make you smart like that. But you have to be clever all on your own

reason I "need" the car is that it is an outside sales job, I am nocking door to door, trying to get in to companies and speak with their CEO's.  But thanks for the push for me to keep the bike!!!
