$400 later, and the old motorcycle is ready to sell for about $3k. Maybe not the best financial decision, but the right thing to do for my beloved bike that needs to find a new home. Motorcyclists and musicians do not always make fiscally-responsible decisions. In other news, a cheapass bass guitar which sells for about $150 new, made its way into my hands. I did some basic service on it to get it working well again, in preparation for finding it a good new home. But it has this great black metalflake sparkly paint job... and some real punk rock dings and scratches... and then I plugged it in, and it has this great thumpy P-bass kind of sound... but the neck is all warped. So I bought a new neck ($180) and tuners ($75), and am assembling the beast to make it my Punk Rock Bass. Yes, I spent $255 to make a $150 bass to play punk rock on. What? You got something to say about that, buddy? huh? HUH?!?
