Some would say you were a fool for paying 3K for anything on 2 wheels. Its all relative, for all you know his bike may well be worth 30K to someone who is...
I didn't pay 3 for mine - I have that much in it - actually closer to 2500 all told - and yeah ok a motorcycle isn't worth at least 3 grand - whatever. Sorry...
...ah, come on Sue...I'm sure he sensed your sarcasm. Yes, it was a simple question, but a loaded one. I'm with Mike V, if I had one let and chose to ride...
