Yonuh Adisi,
Welcome to the ranks of FSO (Former Savage Owners). I sort of think we're a bit psycho.

I walk up to LS650 riders and start talking and they think I'm a little nuts. Some stranger on a bigger bike all excited to see a thumper .....

Driving down the road with the family in the car and one rides by and I'm doing the" twisting the head to see it" thing. The family thinks I'm goofy.....

If you've done major work on them like you and I, it's hard to get it out of your blood.

Yes we are (a bit pyscho that is!) Wink

You'll NEVER get the LS650 out of your DNA ... NEVER ... once you fall in love with the 'Zuki Thumper, they are a part of your heart for good! But, there are other wonderful scooters out there to play with ... maybe someday you'll have something else ... or maybe another Savage ... I reget ever selling my original Savage every day, but have had a lot of fun with the other Bikes I've owned too!

Chin up Yonuh ... things will look up ... and in the meantime, we, your "family" are here for ya buddy! You know you can get a fix of LS650 right here!

A bad move my friend ,it was paid for ,right ?
Are you ever going to get another bike, ?
You could have cancelled the insurance,winterize it,throw a blanket over it and forget it until things get better . The couple of K you now have in your pocket will be gone soon ,with nothing to show for it.
Sorry Yanuh but you will regret it.
Good luck in your job search.

He may mourn the fact he had to sell it, but he did the responsible thing. Its hard to really regret doing what ones family needs, ever.

Either way, you sold it as an investment that should ultimately get you the opportunity to get an even better bike, right?

When I sold my S40 back in April, it was a combination of factors ... firstly a knee-jerk, state of shock reaction to my wife wanting out of our marriage and I knowing that she really doesn't like motorcycles Roll Eyes

... also, I needed a few quick bucks at the time to help furnish a small apartment that I was about to move into. Sold the Bike for about $5-700 less than I coulda got for it ... still regret selling her ...
BUT ... with the help of my kind brother, I have another (and quite different) Scoot to jump on come Spring!!
There's always another motorcycle!
Good Luck Yonuh!!!
