I couldn't get into a course until September. So, in the meantime, I took the advice of some of the members here and looked for a dirt bike to practice in my yard.
I had been looking for a lONG time and I don't have a lot of money. I found one without a title but I looked the owner up and decided, it should be okay. I could not go in person, os my father, who knows less about motorcycles than I do, and, evidently, has NO common sense whatsoever, went to pick it up. I wasn't there to run the VIN myself. HOWEVER, had I been there, I NEVER would have bought it. It was supposed to be a like new 2018 crf125 bush wheel. My father somehow did not notice that it was filthy, the chain is rusty, the whole thing looks beat. All the rubber parts ar rotting, and best of all, IT DOES NOT START! I spent over $1600, including van rental and am stuck with this piece of junk that I probably can't sell and will probably cost more to fix than it's worth!
That's 1600 I cold have pout toward an actual motorcycle. I am partly to blame BUT I had the opportunity to have a very reasonably priced, low mileage, newer street bike, that I saw in person and was a good entry level motorcycle but my parents freaked when they saw it. It was a 2018 Rebel with ABS but my parents thought it was too big and heavy and I'd get injured somehow. I tried explaining that it's a beginner bike but, although I am more than old enough to make my own decisions, I listened to them and opted, instead for this piece of sh__ that I flushed my money down the toilet on!
I am so infuriated! I'm such an idiot!
