I can't have everything..... There's no where to put it...

You can have somethings, you just need to be patient and work for the goals you have in mind.

Work to live, not live to work, unless you have a really cool job like making and setting off fireworks.

And believe it or not, there is such a thing as having enough money. You don't need bag loads of money to live a happy life. Think of all the time you have spent to make that money, you get so focused on doing it that the other parts, the more important parts, of your life suffer.

I'm fortunate it only took me ten or so years to figure this out. I know people twice my age that haven't and are strangers to their own families and more often than not their friends because they work all the damn time.

Oh Bill you do realise it costs more to keep a bike in top condition than it does a car, right??

A set of decent tyres for that thing are going to set you back anywhere from $480.00 to $560.00. (approx 5000km wear if being gentle on a supersport tyre set). Servicing is going to hurt too, that can be up over $600.00 for a major service doing valve clearancs etc. Insurance since you are 19 and it will be a daily ride. I shudder to think what that would cost. Speeding tickets, even when you don't realise you are speeding. So easy to lose your license when your bike can do over the national speedlimit in first gear. Replacement part prices are killer too. And all the tempting bolt on bits, Caron Fibre, Ohlins suspension, bodykits, rims, handgrips.. There's a long list. Really the only benefits are tollways and parking on foot paths. Oh and twisty roads and race tracks.... Damn now I want to go for a ride.. Enjoy though. There are those of us who ride, and the rest just don't get it.. :D
