Can't Make My Mind Up About Selling.

[Tinkicker]

My Yam DT175mx.  It is just sat there in the conservatory, I can't ride it much because I can't put miles on it and have mixed feelings about selling it.

 

I have a full set of pics to set the ball rolling at Bonhams Auctioneers and have been sat on them since the new year.  

 

Just cannot make my mind up.

 

I could use the money for a 6 degrees of freedom motion platform for DCS which would get a lot of use, but the DT is an icon of my youth and I put an awful lot of myself into fettling her.

 

Decisions decisions.

Lovely bike and it's a shame not to be used

Get it out there and ride it whats the point of sitting there looking at it. Think of all the smile per mile you can have riding it. 

PS i havnt got a clue what 6 degrees and DCS?????????????

Flog it, some else will enjoy it and you get to enjoy your 6 DOF Platform

I'm presuming it's movement related and possibly 6deg of it vr world of some sort

Its one of these, but one that will fit in the spare room.  As for using the DT, cannot because its value will be slashed in half.  

Thankfully I have the 750 to ride.

Motorcycles are made to be ridden - that is their value. 

 

A bike that is not ridden has no value. 

 

Far better to ride in the real world than faff around in virtual reality.

That's what my other one is for..

Sell them both and plug into the matrix. It's what I'm going to do. I'm going to become a virtual vampire barn owl feeding on the blood of the damned, and shitting out candy floss.

Just stuck it on ebay at a price far less than its valuation, however when you factor in the cost of transporting it to somewhere like the national motorcycle museum or the NEC for a specialist auction, and the risk you take at auction if the WRONG people are in the room and interest is low, it seems fair.

 

Still a bit salty for ebay though.  It will either sell or not.  If not, not too bothered.
