Default Sell my bike OR truck?

I have come to a hard financial time right now. My company cut all of our overtime so that equals to about $450 a month. Ive only had my bike since february and theres no way im selling it. well ive come to realize that being hard-headed as i am i have to do something and that means getting rid of my bike. i also want to sell my truck because i want something smaller and with more room. i want an extreme blazer. anyway my parents are pushing hard for me to sell my bike, but i just love riding so much.

i know it would be a dumb decision but should i keep my bike, sell the truck and dump a few bucks into it to make it a daily driver? everyone ive asked says thats the dumbest thing i could do.

what would you true bikers do?

A cheap used car is better than truck payments as long as you still have your bike

what i would do is this. sell the truck and buy yourself a rain suit and try to consider youself a "rider" and sell your parents on e bay for 3 bucks

Man, I hate having to make decisions like that. Let's a photo of the truck. And maybe a photo of your girlfriend. All three can be expensive. If one has to go, we need to consider your options.
