So I've been back and forth with myself on the "should I keep it" or "should I sell it" debate in regards to my TL since purchasing another bike this last March.
I kept it around this year but barely put on 25 miles (where the new Honda got close to 8,000 miles) so it mostly sat dormant in my parking spot right outside of my apartment. Sometime between Sunday afternoon & Monday afternoon someone decided to liberate my registered license plate from the TL. It looks like they may have tried to get it off the VTX too but thanks to having that bike under a tight cover and using theft proof fasteners I was saved from having to report a second plate stolen.
I live in a great neighborhood so this just proves anyone of any class, race, income or religion can be a total asshat.
I realized 2 things from this:
1) The TL, though it runs like new, was extremely costly per mile ridden. I paid insurance through the whole year, had to pay for an additional parking spot all year, and now I'll have to pay to re-register the damn thing all for 25 miles of usage.
2) I hate community living and I need a garage. To help pay for a house one of the bikes is going to have to go and the decision was just made easier this weekend.
Sorry, I had to vent. I'm going to keep my eyes open for my old plate and the new "owner" better hope the cops get there with their guns drawn before I get to them. In the mean time, both bikes are going to my friends garage for winter stoarge & clean up.
