| Muscle Biker ![]() | Financing a new bike ... lets see: 1) Go into a local supermarket, in the fruits and vegitables section. 2) Pick up a ripe banana and drop it on the floor (when no one is looking), 3) Step on the banana, and do a backflip while screaming 4) Sue them for $5,000,000 for the pain and suffering caused by their negligence. 5) Settle the case out of court for $10,000. Take the $10,000 and buy a bike, gear and take the MSF course. Hope that helps

| On a more serious note (bananas, good one), after high school and before starting college, I got a job. At a construction/mod project on an oil refinery in Convent, La. Money was supposed to be for college, but some of it managed to slip out of my account and land in the palm of a guy who was trying to sell everything he owned to afford his last year of college. Nobody ever said your first had to be brand new. Aside from that, reaching middle age definitely has a few perks. Cheaper insurance rates. Decent credit.

| Well, I sold a few things that were less important to me at the time on eBay. Cashed out a life insurance policy (could be considered ironic, or subliminally clever), and did the rest on credit. Oh yeah, and took a partial loan off my 401k.

| Buy a small CC, used motorcycle, something that is not so expensive and that you can get around on. Or you can do what I did. I bought my first bike in 1988 from a drug dealer who lost his license. I was in college with NO money Good deals are out there. You just have to know how to ferret them out. - Nut
