Thinking about selling my Lifan xpect

[Boatguy]

before I even make an ad anywhere, I wanted to just talk a little bit about thinking about selling my xpect.

I wanted to see what people thought about selling it

so I have basically transitioned to being on board the boat all the time.

I was going to try to bring the bike on the boat, but I have too many other projects to figure out. I am able to move the bike from place to place. For instance I am in one spot all summer and I have the bike right on shore and it’s been handy. but it’s been transportation only. I’m not riding it for fun. I’m riding it because I have to go somewhere.

when I do have to go somewhere, if it’s on the bike, if it’s overnight, I have to get a hotel. That’s expensive.

and of course it’s exhausting going ashore from the boat, carrying all of the motorcycle gear, getting suited up and sweating all day, doing all of that physical stuff involved in riding around and doing errands in full gear, then coming back, hauling all of that stuff out to a boat and putting it away. I am wiped at the end of that.

I also moved it from Pennsylvania to where I am in New England in the beginning of the summer to set it up in place, and it took days. it took two really long exhausting days to do that.

these are my complaints. Ha ha.

i’m just not finding a motorcycle in general to be the right transportation solution. I feel like an SUV that I can sleep in if I go away is the best thing for this.

like I can keep it near where I am parked on the street somewhere. When I move locations, I can take a train or a bus or fly back to get the vehicle. If I need it. Otherwise I can put it in storage.

with an enclosed vehicle, I can drive it in the rain. I can drive it in the winter. I can drive it in the worst heat of the summer. and since I’m still building my boat, I can carry more materials in it more easily. And I can sleep over in it if I go far away.

I blew a ton of money on rental cars this winter to go snowboarding. That was stupid. I should’ve just bought a car

so here I am thinking about selling the xpect.

what are you guys think? After all that bitching do you think it’s a good idea to sell it? I don’t really feel like I’m getting the proper use out of it and I feel like it would be better if someone who really wants one could get the use out of it.

otherwise it’s just going to sit here

is there any reason I shouldn’t sell it?

you guys all know the history of this particular bike. I posted it all over this forum the entire time. It’s been a good bike. It still is. Still starts like a Honda Civic or a Toyota Camry. runs great. There are pictures of me doing the maintenance on this forum. so I don’t think I’ll have any trouble selling it.

I’m just not sure if I should
