Surfing Waves

Just sold my bike, had to for moving 'cause I can't take it with me. Delivered to the buyer yesterday. Bummer. I'm bike-less. Or is that biked-impaired. Whatever it is I'm shite outta luck for riding for the next 3 months.



I'm soooooo sad.

Bless

Know how you feel, had to sell my RX8 to move:(

And to make it worse, it just started snowing. SOB! Will it never stop and get warm?! Supposed to get 20 cm tonight. Man I can hardly wait to move.

Sorry dude, but i have no sympathy for someone moving to CR.......and what do you expect from living in Alberta.....in southern Ontario we still have snow in some places...

Nice bike...that is a bummer . Believe me, I feel your pain. I just sold my Camaro about a month ago....hated to see her go, but there really wasn't going to be another way out of the situation.

oooooh man ... selling your steel horse is never nice bro .. i remember having to sell my previous bike and it took me 4yrs before i could afford a replacement .. the heart-ache was fleshing eternal man

you have my upmost condolences bro ..i shall now sit here until hometime making thumping engine vroom noises in your honour ... and shall ask the godz of steel ponies to grant you good favour for the speediest return to the saddle

Thanks Cheezee. I appreciate the generous and sympathetic heartfelt expressions of grief that you have expressed on my behalf for my sold comrade and for the enthusiastic vroom-vroom noises which you are making to help ease my pain and loss, unlike Batman and his green-eyed monster, who choose to stay in their igloos with their dogsleds and continue to be frozen by the elements of the far north.
Seriously, it is hard to get rid of something you love even if in the end it profits you, no matter what it is.

I hear ya. I still am keeping all my bikes. I only have 6......

6? I hope you're included the pedalling variety. Man, now I'm jealous....That sucks!

That was a sweet bike there bro. But even cooler dog!

Tis a shame that you had to sell it,
Just better get another one asap !

they are all peddalin variety...

1 Hard Tail MTB
1 Full Suspension MTB
2 Road bikes
2 TT/Triathlon bikes

Really I only ride the FS MTB, and one road bike and one TT bike. The rest are mostly collecting dust, but i keep them for the odd time when i wanna ride. I still want to buy a Cyclo cross bike(road bike for offroading), a fixie(fixed gear bike, think track bike for outside), and another road bike and another TT bike. Its alot of money though, so it will be a slow process. The TT bike I want costs about $7000 cdn.

Ah that sucks.....

But Costa Rica!?!

And a side note, you like the Ridgeline?

I think they are kinda ugly. I just dont like the sloping sides on the box. I saw one with a cap on the back....it looked really weird. Though my roomate was telling me the other day they are pretty top end in the saftey end of things.

$7000 Canadian ! And no Engine !

Man, thats not to bad. I already own the race wheels. It is about $4000 for the frame, about 1500 for the drivetrain, about 700-1000 to put good handle bars on it. so maby not qite 7, more like 6000. My good race wheels cost me 1800. They are worth way more. A friend of mine needed money so i go them for real cheap.

Alot of my friends think i am insane, but if you think about it you spend alot of money on other sports and not even think about it. No one said anything when I was a competitive downhill skiier. It cost me like $2000 for a season pass, and close to $500 for every race i did(every second weekend all winter). So that adds up. It is all a matter of perspective.

If you enjoy it, thats the main thing.

I think altogether my bike plus leathers etc cost about £8000.00,
Hobbys are not cheap these days !

nice bike... cute dog.

rad bike, are you going to get another one?
