Am I been stupid
I'm stuck as what to do, I've started cycling to work now to shift some chunk and the bikes sat under a cover on charge, I think in a month I've rode 6 miles my car is sat on drive doing nothing if we go out as a family we take the family car so now I have 2 toys say doing nothing and winter around the corner. My problem is I'm desperate to buy another camper van as and I'm thinking do I sell up the bike and car get a camper and next year get another bike or buy cheap hack to potter
Anyone else had a problem like this |

Re: Am I been stupid
Yes, the last two years I've put 12000 miles on the pushbike and 500 on the motorbike, mine's a 17 year old SV that owes me nothing so can't get rid of it. Campervan sounds great....

Re: Am I been stupid
I am off my bike at the moment due to poor health and as such my precious Sylvie is in storage where she has been for most of this year. The logical part of me says that it is costing me money to have her sat doing nothing. But given that she is no longer taxed or insured, these losses are now at a minimum.
Will I sell her? F*^% that! They will have to prise her keys from my cold dead hands before I let her go! It is the dream of riding her again that is keeping me going during the hard bits. Sometimes, the logical answer is not always the best answer. |

Re: Am I been stupid
A few years ago we had one family car and my CBR600 which I really loved. I needed to get a car for work etc so had to sell my baby..... Which was gutting. However I got my car and life was good, fast forward 3 years and I got my lovely SV which I'm over the moon with. Things will come and go but you can always save up for another one in the future. Life is too short I'm afraid

Eat less, deduct a bit of food (not a meal) until you start losing about 2lb a week, that's healthy and sustainable. Keep the car and bike, use both in the winter, just rinse 'em down from time to time, they're not gonna turn into rusty rot boxes.
