Ugh I can't get over the itch :-(
 

So some of you might remember me.. I was looking hardcore for a bike last spring and almost ended up getting screwed over a GS500.

Now it's 3 months later and I can't get away from the want.. no matter how feasible it is to get one. There is a Ninja 250 right near me and I want to go out and snatch it up even though I don't have the money or the storage space.

How do I make it stop!

Nice to see you online again.
I did that waiting game thing for a few yrs. Patience! Wait for the time and place and things will end up just fine.

I know how you feel after i got my lic my friend lent me his gsxr600 for two weeks. I gave him back the bike on saturday and got my bike that following monday:D

I got the itch so bad you will never know. Im torn between a street or a offroad bike. At this point i just want one!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am looking at a 650r and a buell xb12 and a yamaha 250 errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's gonna be a longgggg wait. We may be moving into a bigger place (with garage!) so it might become an option then, otherwise I have to wait about 4-5 years when I move out west on my own.

I know how the itch goes...I learned how to ride on my dads Yamaha V Star 1100, then I bought a 1994 CBR600 F2 for the next riding season. I rode that for a season, then ran into some money problems. Sold everything I could before the bike. Then I sold it to buy my g/fs engagement ring in March of this year and went this season without a bike...I sold my car this year and I bought a 1986 POS. I am not even insuring my car for the winter so I can afford to finish my bike that I bought in October. Winter is going to kill me until Minnesota's riding season starts again...

yeah i gotta find a bike before spring. Know about the MN thing, I'm in grand forks right now -1 wind chill -18, good riding weather.

Yea, I am in Mankato, I go to school here...I walk to school, and soon enough, I will be walking to BWW for work...how crappy is that? Now is the time to buy though, I got mine for $800 less than his asking price, all it took was rebuilding the carb, which was pretty easy...so yea...good luck finding a bike!

B-dubs rocks, probably sucks working there tho. You are probably about 6 hours from me, and alot further south, still cold tho. I'm from Arkansas just going to school here at UND. Walking sucks, and you cant park anywhere near the main buildings, and its getting worse now that we started getting snow. BTW, I'm looking for a 500R preferably 2000+, let me know if you know anyone selling one cheap. Bike scene is limited here, hopefully its better closer to the cities. Yeah I got the itch too, just wish i had the cash to back it up.

i just got over my itch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best scracth ever

RE: Ugh I can't get over the itch :-(
 

I have a buddy that goes to NDSU, so that's kinda close up there. I don't mind BWW, I have been there for 3 months and they made me a "WCT" (wing certified trainer), so it's not hard at all. I have been a cook for 4 years now, so it's all kind of a cake walk to drop chicken into a fryer and shake them in sauce. We have had 1 decent snowfall here, six inches, otherwise nothing. One more day of having a car, then it's gone until I can afford it again. Now I have the itch to ride...have to wait until April...

Time is of the essence young grasshopper. It is better to have the funds available just incase the worst happens and you need to repair it. If you spend everything and then have no money to maintain it that itch is just going to come right back.
