I Finally got a permanent full time job!
No more contracting, no more temp, no more having to work 2 jobs, no more having to pay rediculous health insurance rates, no more lack of vacation time, no more being motorcyleless(Ya I just made up that word, feel free to use it as you like)!
All I have to do is pay off the credit cards this winter and next spring just before the snow melts, I will be getting me another bike! Now all I have to do is figure out what. It will most likely be another DS, I am not sure about another KLX or not. Next summer I will have to use it to commute to work and back(60 miles each way, either thruway or 2 lane highway). I am thinking I would like something bigger than a 250/350... If it is another DS I will end up with both a set of street and dirt wheels. There is no sense in buying anything now, because I wont be able to ride much and sitting and stairing at it all winter will just drive me nuts. Man I am FIRED up! |
Good on ya!

Congrats.
A 120 mile round trip is a big commute. Whatever bike you get just make it a dependable one. A DR 400 sounds like something that would be up to the task. That's down the road of course. Glad life has gotten stable for you. I know you'd been looking for work for some time now. Grab yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the moment. Mike |
Thanks Mike,
DR400 is exactly what I am thinking. A nice cruiser would be perfect for the ride. However, you cant go play in the dirt and mud with a V-Star.. Either way, i will probably end up buying something either brand new or extremely low miles. When I bought my KLX it only had 700 miles on it... Eventually, I will probably look into relocating closer to work. My kids just started school last month and my wife has another yr of College before she is done with her BA. |
DO IT!!
i know the feeling, being unemployed sucks. |
Congrats!!! Great to hear good news like that!

Good on ya!!

60 miles to work!! I would have stayed unemployed!!!
I just went back too.. Been happily unemployed for 23 months!! That was an awesome vacation, I traveled a LOT, California twice, North Carolina, few weekends in MA and NY... Rode like 3-4 times a week, went fishing about the same.. Life was good.. Then I got a call and got offered a job I couldn't refuse. Started yesterday.. Kinda sucks back to the grind, but the extra cash is nice! Good luck with the new job. |
Consider a KLR650. It's a lump off road, but, with that much on-road riding, it sure would be less dramatic on a bigger bike. I can give you a link to a guy that's riding this bike off road with stock suspension, doing things you'd never imagine a KLR could do! They're cheap, too....

Congrats on the new job!! You might also consider the DR-650, or the KLX-400 if you want another green bike, I know I know it is just a re-skinned DR400 but hey it is an option!!
