Last Friday we bought a motorcycle. I know, busy weekend huh? It is a 1995 Honda, CBR. We found it on Craigslist for a very good deal, and as you can see from the picture it is very cool! The purpose in buying this motorcycle is so that when Scott quits his current job (which gives him a company truck) to go to school full time (in less than a month!!!!) he will drive the motorcycle around so that I will still have the car to drive to my little part time preschool job. Well, now we are selling the motorcycle after owning it less than a week. Its not what you think - Scott didn't wreck it and it still runs great. We called to get insurance for it and the insurance lady (who we love) said that because of the year it should be pretty low to cover it (we were thinking $20-$30 a month). So after a short time she called back and said she was surprised but it was going to cost $109 a month!!! (Just for the baisic stuff to keep you legal!) Apparently, we bought a "super bike" which are very expensive to insure. Whatever. So it is back on Craigslist and, yes, we do still plan to buy another bike after this one sells. How do we get ourselves into these situations?

How sad that insurance is so high on that! That looks like a fun bike. Bikes are SO great for desert weather and the current (and probably future) cost of gas. Good luck selling it and finding a better deal!
Oh how frustrating. That is so not something I would have thought about before buying it...I would now though and I know you guys will! Good luck with the sale.
