As part of my drive to minimize my baggage and cut expenses across the board, I decided to sell my motorcycle.
Combination of related factors: the hassle of having to drive 30 minutes to the storage shed in order to ride; the serious lack of time because of school; my still painful knees; and of course the on-going maintenance, insurance, etc. And thinking ahead, a cross-country move.
So... I took it out for a long farewell drive and then listed it on Craigslist. One day later, I sold it for $200 more than I paid for it.
Keeping my helmet, jacket, gloves, etc. Another bike in my future post-school and post-move.

The other, of course, involves orcs." -KFM
Hang in there, Toots. Your next ride will be SWEET.
