    It's metal with a bit of leather and paint. It's not living it's an object. Get it sold, get the debts paid off and then buy another beautiful beast just like it :D

    I will be sad when I come to get rid of my little purple car, especially as it will probably be going to the big scrapyard in the sky rather than another owner!

    My sister sold her first car (an old fiat) and the buyer has made it into a race car! It looks really cool now.

    She is a beauty!
    But she deserves to be ridden and you aren't doing that. Equate it to having a dog but not walking it. :D
    You are doing the right thing.

    Sell it, it's an R6, it'll be easy enough to find another one when you've the money.

    I should sell one (or both) of my bikes to reduce my debts but as they're both vanishingly rare I may never find one I can afford again.

    Just wish I could enjoy riding them without worrying about the cost of petrol and tyres...

    Noooo don't listen to them. They are all so very serious with debt busting! But you have to have a life and hobby and something to take your mind off stuff. Dont sell it you will regret it, just be patient and you will pay offf your debt.

    Don't listen to these people - they forced me to sell my beautiful Mini and I regret it every day. :(

    Okay - perhaps they didn't force me - but I do still regret it and it was 15 months ago now. The problem is - I can't afford to get another now, as the money went straight off my debts. I thought that would be a good feeling but actually I've still got debts, but now no Mini to take my mind off them.

    You did what? Sell your MINI, noooo! I could never sell mine!:eek:
