The Things We Do For Love

[ThisGuy]

Getting back to working on and riding the bike lately has really been good for me. And as much as I'm eager to keep going both with getting the maintenance up to date and some eventual mods, there's something hanging over me I can't ignore any longer… money.

I had mentioned in another post that we went full-time RVing for 18 months. Well the fifth wheel and truck are still sitting around—the RV unused, the truck the world's most expensive grocery getter. It's past time to sell both. While I'll continue to chip away at my backlog of Rocket work a bit each day, getting things sold will take priority until that's done. It will put me in a far better place to give the Rocket the love it deserves.

So my question is, what sacrifices (financial or otherwise) do you make now, or have you made in the past, to own a bike & keep riding?

It's not. We've talked a lot about future RVs and will strongly consider a diesel pusher down the road. It would be just about perfect for how we like to travel.

Yep, right on. 35 foot Fox Mountain 5th wheel and a Ram diesel dually. It's a great combo that we put together specifically for full-timing with a kid and cats. We would love to keep them both for the next twenty years as our kids grow up… trips all over the west… visiting family scattered across the country… but at this phase of our lives it's just way too much money to have tied up in something that's only used a few weeks/year. A smaller travel trailer would be far more suited to that kind of occasional use.

I've been all over this country and have to say if i lived in Montana it would be a no brainer, your fortunate enough to live in the nicest part of the country .Who needs an RV. Head over to White Sulfur Springs soak in the hot springs and thank the man for being in your predicament.

Never ever a sacrifice , altho my Mrs had to sacrifice her new perfume once for a tyre !

Not so much financially but time. Upkeep and maintenance with limited off time from work has caused some problems at times.
