Transportation Plans

Well, as some of you are aware I’m about to be “without car” pretty soon. I made a call to Nissan about my Pathfinder lease and I found out my lease isn’t up until November (instead of August) so that’s a good thing. The problem is in the current economy I really can’t afford to get myself into another lease and I’m not about to buy a car/suv outright right now. So, what’s the plan?
I think (Mom, please don’t cringe too much) I may just try and find a motorcycle and get my license. I rarely drive anywhere and they don’t cost nearly as much as a car or a used Jeep. I won’t really be able to ride in the rain, or I’m sure I probably won’t do too much rain travel, and as long as I stay pretty much local it won’t be an issue. I won’t be able to haul my surfboard to the beach so that’s a problem but the thrill of having a bike may be just enough to get moving in that direction.
I’m not looking for a powerhouse of a bike or something out of my skill range. Probably a small 650 or something, like a little sport bike. Not too big so I can handle it.
Now it’s just a matter of coughing up the $300 for the classes and finding a bike in the 3k range but in the long run I’m sure it’ll be worth it. Cheap gas, cheap transportation though I’m not sure what it would cost to insure it. I guess that’s one more thing I’ll have to look into. At least it’s something I can just pay cash for and not have a car payment. I’m so sick of having to pay for a car/vehicle I rarely use.

About
I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.
Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
The blog itself is primary here to communicate with family and friends. If you're looking for my professional site you can go to http://www.mynameisdamien.com/ for a full resume, portfolio and blog.
