John and I have decided to take a trip to Sturgis, one of the oldest motorcycle gatherings. It is South Dakota.
And yes, we intend to RIDE the whole way.
Considering I love my little Italian Pony, I have a hard decision to make....
Do I sell my beloved Ducati Monster 800 to buy something more fitting to the 4100 some-odd miles that lie ahead of us?
Or do I keep it, and rent (very expensive!) a bike to ride. (this option does not appeal, but rationally I have to keep it on the table).
Lastly, do I buy a cruiser and have two bikes? (Seems outlandish and I can't justify two bikes)
My frugal nature does not like any of these options. Since I also have a problem "settling" I am stuck.
If I could just go do whatever and did not have financial sense, I would sell it and get a BMW F800 ST, which I have drooled over ever since I sat on it at the motorcycle show two years ago...It has just as impressive a price tag...
Sturgis is in August, so I have a little time to think and chose. Gotta start putting the miles in to build up callouses in the right location....
Any thoughts from my riding friends out there??
