Let’s just say I’m pretty good at negotiating my mom was completely shocked I managed to talk my dad into it. Better yet I was so persuasive that I talked them into buying me out of my portion of the car giving me the $5k letting me put $1500 in and they are lending me the final $1300 for the bike so it’s fully paid for. I still have to pay for my portion of the insurance of the car so I can use it occasionally but I no longer owe any payments on the car to my parentsThat was fast. You managed pretty well, it's seems. Just be mindful of basic maintenance on this one, but other than that... Enjoy and congratulations.
Carry on.
Me too one of my therapists actually came up with her new name because of the mix of orange and navy blue it reminded him of late sunsets so he said I should call her “twilight”Congrats, I like the blue used on KTM's 390s
Not even gonna lie I have no clue how I did it like they were completely against it the day before and then by the next afternoon my mom went with me while I signed the paperwork for the bike and put down my depositLet’s just say I’m pretty good at negotiating my mom was completely shocked I managed to talk my dad into it.

What can I say I was born to be a salesperson. Negotiated so fell went from them not wanting me to get a bike to them paying most of it by buying me out of my current car lmaoooCongrats! That was a quick sales pitch on the parents, well done! Enjoy! Perfect timing as well.
Was at my M2 riding course good selection of bikes. They had a bike that was equivalent to the duke and one equivalent to the RC (shape wise) I didn’t mind the CB125 but the CBR125 I rode was just really comfortable I liked the way my legs felt agaisnt the tank. I know it’s a little small on me but it felt like a glove. Also sat on the RC 390 and it felt a lot better now that I know how to properly sit on a bike lolSo initially it was between the Duke and the Adventure - what made you go with the RC?
Also even though I’m pretty tall my natural relaxed position is curled up so something about the way those kinds of bikes feel fits me a lot better while riding. I liked how the pegs were a little further back and how when I was riding I was leaned forward more. I also tried a Honda rebel and immediately did not like it I didn’t like the foot pegsSo initially it was between the Duke and the Adventure - what made you go with the RC?
Still waiting on a solid ETA but should be ready to pick up sometime around either this weekend or start of next week, still has to be put together lmaooo fresh out the factory crateBeautiful bike. Congrats.
When do you pick it up?
Age means nothing to me when it comes to a chill ride. Once I get a little more comfortable I’d love to meet up for some rides though while you might not believe me I do plan to take things slow at first I’m not really much of a speed demon and I don’t have a death wish so likely you’ll find me going for some relaxing cruises to some great musicCongrats. While it been quite a long time since I got my first bike, I do remember how exciting it was.
Enjoy, make sure you tag up for a few rides with the old timers congratulating you!
