Need Advice
 

A woman on Fakebook is offering to make me a trade for Bertha. I am so tempted.

Should I do it? I have a place to store the camper. I could potentially rent it. This is the thing I am thinking about. If I keep riding the Hawk like I do now, in 2 or three years she is going to be worth 1/4 what I paid for her. This camper will be worth the same. I don't know what to do. With the savings of using or renting the camper, I could put another bike on layaway, but I just dont know. The woman is willing to bring the trailer to me (she lives about 70 miles away).

Tough call.

Many of those old composite campers have degassing health issues, though if its 1998 it should be asbestos free...


Given the current property/rent societal issues going on, you might find a tenant. But be aware of leasing rights/regulations and ongoing maintenance.


If the outcome is profit and could be put towards a new bike then the trade seems viable at the expense of limited mobility for the mid term...


If you look at the current hawk as a learning experience then I see no harm in the trade as neither items are brand new...


If you have the room, and can do a bit of DIY to spit shine the old camper you might even be able to flip it for a profit later on...


Just comes down to how much do you actually value the hawk..?

that's the thing, I have bled real blood for this bike, bruised knuckles, etc. I gotta ruminate on this for a bit.

I use bike bikes far more than we ever used our camper. We sold it.
