It begins...

I have wanted a motorcycle for some time now, and towards the end of this summer I was able to pick one up for a steal. I started off this summer with a 1987 Yamaha Razz scooter that a kind older woman from my church had given me, as she could no longer ride it. About mid way through the summer I found a Honda ATC 185 3-Wheeler on KSL for a whopping $200, so I snatched it up. My wife and I recently moved into a townhouse, buy they do not allow storage of 'toys' in the garage. As per the rules they want the garage used for your vehicle, and not much else. So the scooter and 3-wheeler had to go. I had been looking at motorcycles occasionally for a couple years, and since I had to liquidate my toys I thought this might just be my chance. The only things I really had that I could justify getting rid of was an Asus Netbook(new $150), the scooter, and the wheeler. So I went hunting on ksl, and also put my items in the 'trade' section of KSL. I got a few low-ball offers that I kindly rejected, then one day I received a text asking if I was interested in a full suspension mountain bike valued at right around $1000. While it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it was worth more than my items and I figured I could still have some fun with it. As soon as I got the mountain bike the texting started, scouring KSL for any running motorcycle in the $300 - $1200 range that I could offer the mountain bike for to trade. I probably texted and called around 75 people throughout the course of 2-3 weeks. Finally someone bit, and not only that they said they were seriously interested. Success! Hopped into the truck, hooked up the trailer and off to Salt Lake! Returned home with the motorcycle in tow!
