On the fence

Considering selling the X.

The X does not get out as much as it used to (last 14 months or so).....but when it does, I do try to make it a 50 + mile run...including 16 miles on I95 (70+mph...ahem)

It has been very good to me and yet I hear a lot of comments....basically use it....or....well not lose it.......but.....be ready to pay if you don't.

So, therein lies my dilema......use it more often........or wrench on it more often.

That may not be a fair characterization (in my case).......but from what I read here it may be on the mark to some degree.

So?.........To sell.......or not to sell........that is my Q

See Sig for details

Don't sell! If you like wrenchig on things, and funds are not and issue, keep your X as a hobby, (and for the times you need to get out on the open road!) That's what I hope to do eventually...

Pezho405,

mam4.6,
I don't mind wrenching on things........but to be fair.......if low miles will result in same/same.......maybe the (my)X is better off in another stable.?

Dunno
