I think that may be the way I end up going…as for the dollars and sense, she was okay with me getting a new Dodge Challenger, but not a bike?? Although after I told her how much an R/T or SRT-8 was she wasn’t so supportive…lol…you see, she likes the Challenger, so is all for owning one. (maybe we should trade in her SUV for one???) I do think that would be a fun car, but talk about payments…here in Alberta, a Chellenger R/T averages around $40,000, and an SRT-8 averages over $50,000…not really a toy that I would concider “in my price bracket”…so if I pick up a used 500cc bike for about $3000, I think that is a more logical choice…similar acceleration, better handling and braking…no payments would be involved, and I am sure the insurance would be cheaper, not to mention a third or less in fuel bills…my 12yr old daughter is pumped for me to get the bike, she loves going to the local bike shops and bike shows to sit on them…it’s only the “boss” that will be the hard sell…I think my next step will be getting her to the bike shop and sitting on a bike, or scooter, for her maybe…???
Fingers crossed…lol
