Probably not the best practice but I have one dedicated CC that I keep a zero/minimal balance on so that I can make those purchases when I come across them, and pay them off later.

 

ya ive thought of that before but dont think i can do that with a local sale that is wanting cash right lol? plus i do have a credit card but i already kinda hate using it for when things get out of hand then i gotta work things out and pay it off... got lots of bills for being single and some days it be to much it seems haha

 

There's always cash advances...lol but I wouldn't suggest that since it has even higher interest than the CC normally does.

But yeah probably best to handle your needs first before the wants lol

 

yup... id love to fix my civic but i cant find the power train i want so it just sits in the garage but again a want not a need really... id love to rework the klx if i end up keeping it and making it a bit more modern looking and different but a want not a need haha so here i be going to work and going home and doing nothing lmao

 

Lol I know the feeling. When me and the ex broke up my rent doubled. Been living a mostly hermit life recently since I got tired of wasting a bunch of money dating, just focusing on clearing any debt and saving now...after buying the S1K first thing after becoming single of course.

 

Upshift Online started selling these little like bungee cord clip things, made in Idaho and pretty cheap so I bought some. They arrived today and they threw in a metric buttload of stickers and a nice thank you note. Gotta love small moto businesses. If you haven’t checked out their online magazine or store, you should. I wish I had a bike they made a graphics kit for.

 

i feel that man somedays it sucks owning a house and being single but at the same time i own it and can do what i want really so it be what it be...
dating? damn i wish lol i dont get shit so i just play video games and ride the bike lmao

 

sooo how do they work?

 

got some neat graphics kit on the store as well but nothing for the drz.... how lame!

 

New tires on the 250 today. Got a little tired of running true dirt knobbies on the road (terrible wear, and other reasons I'll explain eventually), so we went with these.
Shinko 244 50/50s. Only put a few miles on so far but they feel GREAT! Much smoother than the knobbies and a bigger contact patch.

 

waaaait we aint suppose to run knobbies on the road

good looking little klx thou!

 

I just bought a set of used OZ Racing wheels using my CC. If you link it to PayPal, you can use it to pay whoever and that's as good as cash. If they don't want to accept PayPal, it would seem sketchy.

I wouldn't usually do that, but it was a smoking deal and I'll pay it off with my next commission check.

 

ya true you got a point i sometimes forget about paypal even thou my credit card is linked to it and thats how i usually pay for everything lmao

 

The tether things? Just shock cord with a clip, real simple but handy and pretty cheap. I plan on using a few to keep my glove pairs together and other just to keep in my tank bag to cinch on whatever comes along.

 

Speak of the devil. They’re here!

 

ahh i see from the earlier pic i was confused what it was besides a string lookin thing lol

it does look handy to hold stuff together when not in use or when riding

 

Keep your chin up, TW friends! It's rough for us single dudes sometimes.

Not a financial advisor, but I am an accountant if money trouble's got ya down. I'd be glad to see if I can help.

Here for anyone that needs it, even if it doesn't have to do with dollar signs.

 

appreciate it man! its been a year thats for sure! hoping next year will be a good one with no issues! it just seems a lot harder to start a build over and keep my head a float then it did a few years back with my si haha

Managed a nice 110 miles today to bring the FJR up to over 47k miles. Temps were 37-39 degrees the whole time. Heated jacket and gloves on low kept me comfy.
