Should I pull the Trigger

[Vettezuki]

Ok, so over time I've had an on/off hankering to get a bike with a recent flare up that really hasn't subsided. So now, an unusual opportunity has presented itself to buy an absolutely pristine 2004 Suzuki Bandit 1200s for under $2k because of a Colleague moving over seas. Part of me says, duh, slam dunk. YOu can figure out if you really like riding or not for little cost and if it doesn't work out, you can get back nearly all you spend. Then there's part of me that says build more character and resist temptation. Damn it.

Character is over rated. Sometimes "whims" are fate slapping you in the face.:D

Buy it. You need lots of toys in life to be happy, this is the teaching of Buddah.

Happiness to me would be owning a:

Long travel truck
Blown Stingray :)
STI as my DD
Superbike, an GSXR750 or an R6 would do it.
Dirtbike
Jet Skiis :)
Snowmobiles (although my friend promised he'd buy a pair of those since I got the Skiis)
Supercar, a Venom Viper or a Mosler would do it. I'm not picky.

...even if it means living in an apt.

I rather show you but since I've been really sick and working 12-14hr days I haven't gotten to take pics yet...I'll start a new thread and get some stock Suzuki pics up there.
