I get the debt issue, but I don't understand selling your last bike to decorate the house...just fix up the house a little at a time and then maybe you can keep your bike, or trade for the 675. I guess I just despise remodeling. We had an older home in KY where I had to paint every wall, replace floors, refinish the hardwoods, etc. What a nightmare. When going through all of this work in the house you are going to need a bike to ride just to relax and get away!
Well, I'm trying to get the whole house done within a week or two max. I need to put in new hardwood floors downstairs and new carpet upstairs, then have the interior painted before moving all my stuff in the house. Its just so much easier to do that when the house is still empty. I painted my present house room by room and it took me forever..... and that was with no kids. Imagine doing that efficiently with two little critters. This new house is much bigger and the painter I'm hiring said he can do the house in one day!!!
That alone makes me happy. It would take me weeks.
As for the trade, I guess I'm just going to keep my VFR and one day another nice opportunity will come by. [moto]
As for the kids being up for adoption (LOL)...... I love these little critters! I've been blessed with two very cute and well behaved boys. I'll sell everything I have for them.
