WOW! Yeah, I have a bike now i bought new in 05. I don't ride much, I've put 6K on it in the last 8 years. Was going to sell it, but fuel prices have killed that. I hate riding from my job in Chillicothe, Ohio at 1am, because of the deer population. I'm racking up the miles on my truck too. I would sell and buy a car, but what am I saving doing that. The bike is worth $1500. A reliable car will cost 4k at least, plus the insurance, upkeep.
