I Listed My Motorcycle for Sale
By Ryan Healy | April 29, 2008
So it’s that time of year: spring.
The time when all the motorcyclists in Colorado wake from their slumber and start dreaming of twisty mountain passes.
The time when I’ve decided to list my motorcycle for sale.
You can see my posting on Craig’s List here.
My brother Ben has been asking me every week if I’ve listed my motorcycle for sale yet. Well, now I can tell him “yes.”
And when my brother Jared saw my ad, he wrote:
Cool man… Might want to use a couple photos and better ones.
And I replied:
Yeah, I was procrastinating because I didn’t have good enough photos, not enough info, etc.
So I just listed it.
To take new photos, I have to wash my bike. To wash my bike, I need warm weather. The list goes on.
I could have procrastinated until next winter.
The lesson: If you have something that’s keeping you from reducing your debt load, then take action. You don’t have to do it perfectly the first time. Just find a way to get the ball rolling.
P.S. Despite not creating a “perfect” ad, a fellow motorcycle enthusiast is coming to take a look at my bike this week. Who knows… it might already be sold.

Congrats on doing that Ryan. I know you love your motorcycle. You’ll love the new one you get down the road even more, when you buy it with cash.

Amen. Act now, make better later if you must!

Awesome, Bro! I’m glad to see you’re already getting some interest in it. Just think of how you’ll feel with your debt load decreased by $13,000.
