TaraParticipant
Trust the tires!
TaraParticipantI’ve mostly thought gloves would be for my hands not getting cold from wind-chill
Maybe I just haven’t ridden for extended periods of time, so I wouldn’t have known.
TaraParticipantLucckkkyyyy!!!! I just finished reading this thread and I’m so so so jealous of your sister! Could you also buy me a Ninja 250?
I hope she’s having fun on it. Congrats!
TaraParticipantYeah I guess I’ll just have to go with good ol’ cash for my bike. I’ve considered a scooter, but it’s just that it seems like an intermediate step that will prolong the amount I have to save for my Ninja. Although I definitely do understand that it will be better than nothing (which is what I have now).
And thanks for bringing up insurance…at least in Florida, it’s not required, but I wouldn’t want to be without it…I’d like to think I could ride a couple months before I get insurance, but that’s probably the most crucial time period to actually have insurance. Arrgggghhhhh my dreams are slipping through my fingers.
Oh well. I’ll get there, don’t worry. I ALWAYS get what I want in the end! Hahaha. Only half kidding.
And as a little side note to “A”…clinical trials? I’d be too scared to come out with some horrible allergic reaction! But I guess you do what you gotta do! Sounds interesting to be a limo driver…
WeaponZero, I mentioned earlier that I have a good start on my gear; I have a one-piece leather suit and a full face helmet. I’m not too keen on gloves because it’s very nice weather here all year round, but I may get them some other time.
TaraParticipantI understand that what you’re saying. Though, what I meant by spending money is that $800-$1000 is what I usually have in my account on average. It doesn’t mean that I SPEND $800-$1000 a month or something like that.
Basically, how my life is at the moment, I’m slightly breaking even. I make just slightly more than I spend.
And I’m definitely not considering a loan anymore. I don’t want to get screwed. I mean, that’s the whole reason I avoided credit cards, so why would I get a loan? Makes sense now. I’m just gonna have to stick it out and save up little by little I guess. :[
It’ll be worth it in the end, I suppose. I’ll have a chat with my dad to see what’s up. Thanks for your advice!
TaraParticipantHa! It’s not as easy as it sounds to marry a rich guy ;-]
But I guess I’ll have to think of a convincing way to get my dad to loan me 5 grand
He’s always a hard-ass about saving money and all, too. But that’s a dad for ya. Still, I don’t think he can deny that I need some personal transportation. Being without it is pretty lame.
I never got around to mention that I’m actually car-less because my car got TOTALED by some stupid drunk driver. I wasn’t involved in the accident; it was some wasted frat boy that slammed into my lil’ Honda Civic while it was parked outside my apartment and I was doing homework or something. Coward took off when I came running outside. :'[ Asshole. I wish I got his plate…
But this isn’t about my car, I want my ninjaaaaa!!!! Oh and I’ve taken the MSF already! Hehe, I’m ahead of the game! But thanks for your comment
TaraParticipantFirst of all, thanks for the warm welcomes!
So yeah, my dad’s not likely to co-sign anything for me. He barely co-signed when I wanted a different cellphone provider a few years ago (when I was under 18)…
Is borrowing money from family really the only financially sound option? I don’t really like borrowing money friends/family in the first place…The bank is a totally different story I’d say.
But at least I already have a full face helmet and a leather one-piece suit. Still need some boots. I’ve had them for a while, actually. They’re simply collecting dust at the moment. All I need is a darn motorcycle :[
But like megaspaz said, it’s tough saving money in college…
