decision making help....

[VanillaThunder]

i need some help.

i think it may just be because spring is just round the corner, but i am toying with the idea of selling a certain semi-auto 'commie' rifle to put towards a motorcycle.

keep in mind, i have never owned a motorcycle before, but i promised myself i would get one this year and enjoy the weather all season.

keep in mind, said semi-auto is the last of the mohicans in my safe (lake michigan, you know the story). i dont know when or if i would be able to replace it.

what should i do???

Buy it now while you have the chance.

get the bike. you'll have fun. we can always rent some gear and go looking for your guns at the bottom of the lake. hehe

I posted a no.
But then again my wife and I saved for a while and bought an older mtorcycle and did some fixing up and now have a great rider. nd I still have my commie rifle....... until the next lake michigan trip.

 

[VanillaThunder]

well, if i do sell, i will probably post it within the next day- since i will be in the Indy area all weekend. i think no matter what i do, there will be some regret....just a matter of how much!

Sounds like a great item to take to the 1500 and carry around with a sign on it. It will no doubt bring top dollar during this show.

Bikes are seasonal. The need to be prepared never ends.

What kind of motorcycle are you looking at??

 

[dburkhead]

Jokes about "boating accidents" aside, I wouldn't do it unless the rifle really is supernumerary. However, if it is, then get the bike.

Personally, for a first bike, I'd get a dual-purpose on/off road bike. You can do a lot of your learning, and make a lot of your mistakes, in a more forgiving environment than pavement filled with cars (that loom very large and very threatening when you outside your vehicle rather than surrounded by nice, comforting steel). And the ability to go off-road has its own advantages in various emergencies.

presently, an old yamaha....

....i still wish i'd have at least looked at that one you had.

 

[Bubbajms]

Ahh, the old Yamaha.. it's a tempting mistress, isn't it??

Would this certain "Commie" rifle be more along the lines of an SKS or an AK (or, perhaps, something different entirely)??

 

[VanillaThunder]

the second one.

Keep the Gun, ditch the bike unless you can afford both. Guns won't loose value :-)

Keep the gun! But find a way to get the bike too.
