How many of you actually "own" your bike??

[ZUKIMON]

You know, "OWN IT!" I have the title to my bike, my car and my truck. We owe for the wifes car and the house and I plan on keeping it that way for some time. ;)

So how many of you have the title to your ride?

[azoomm]

:dthumb:

Bikes yes - four wheels, I lease.

[rogue]

Funny you brought this up as I've been fighting with the ex for almost a year for the title to my bike! I finally got it and had her put in my name last week! :dthumb:

[racedoll]

Yep. Just paid it off in August. Prior to selling the 250, I owned it too for the last couple years. And I have owned my car for nearly 11 years.

[Dragonpaco]

i own the titles for all 4 of my bikes

[Mr Lefty]

yup bought the bike cash... I LOVE that feeling... I'm think'n of selling the Xterra next year and getting an older Toyota that I can pay off with in a year or so... I hate payments

[Dave]

i own the 450 and all the cars :D. house and fireblade im working on

[lauralynne]

payments make me want to puke. No payments for me. I'd rather walk first.

All my toys are 100% paid cash for. All my vehicles are 100% paid cash for.

Louie's new truck - we're making payments - against my better judgement.

[Porkchop]

Yup, my bike title is resting at home. I mean, there is $700 still on my personal CC, but it was a p2p transaction.

Parents have my car title......

[Amorok]

We own both cars, but I've dragged ass on paying off the bike.

[Sixxxxer]

Bike I owe like 8800 on...Car was paid Cash...So was the talon but that doesnt run yet.

Gonna blow my tax return on making a huge payment on the bike to help bring it down.

[Porkchop]

Bike I owe like 8800 on...Car was paid Cash...So was the talon but that doesnt run yet.

8800????? God damn man.

I have a dealer near the lakehouse that could get me that bike for 6,400..... out of crate, 0 miles.

[Sixxxxer]

Lol. Well I dont Live in Ohio...Every dealer was around the same as far as price went...and I bought it in July the Height of Riding Season.

Its ok it will be paid off in two years then Ill get somethign Diff

I guess the new 09 did just come out, and its winter.......

If my parents wouldnt murder me for financing that much, id be so game. Anybody need a hook up on a cheap new bike, i know a guy there, Shawn.

[Riceaholic]

I own both cars and both bikes. I hate payments.

[Mrs. Colleen]

Just paid off the vette so now the hubby and I own all 3 cars and both bikes. :beers:

[Lamnidae]

just about done on the bike.


still make payments on her car and my truck, though the car will be paid off this year, then will start working on the 2nd vehicle, should be another year and it'll be paid off.

[JARVIS518]

currently making payments, i just recently went to the bank to see what they could do to help me out for a lower intrest rate.

[derf]

bike yes

[ericr]

Paid the bike off in '04. I plan to be able to buy my FZ1 outright when I sell the VTX too.

[Cutty72]

Makin payments on the Buell.
Own the SV and all the cages.

Credit is a necessary evil in my mind, I'm not rich, never will be, so to have what I want, I buy on credit.

[Adeptus_Minor]

I should own the Warrior by the end of the year.

['73 H1 Triple]

The cycles are all paid off. I paid cash for the ZR1100 in may and the triples were paid for in 1983 and 1984 :lol: I have spent close to $2K in parts to freshen up the triples ( which is 3X more than I paid for both the bikes ) :whistle:

The '01 Suburban, '01 Jeep Cherokee, '77 Corvette , the 18' I/O boat and the '24 pontoon boat are all paid for.

But I do have a mortgage :panic:

Jeff

[BobTheBiker]

I"m staring at the title for my ZX1000 right now, so I assume I have the title for it, no?

[Adeptus_Minor]

Having title existential issues? :idk:

[JoJoYZF]

My mustang is paid off and I recently decided to wait on buying a new car, so Ill have the bike paid off this summer.

['73 H1 Triple]

I"m staring at the title for my ZX1000 right now, so I assume I have the title for it, no?

Maybe. Does it list a lien holder? If it does, is it marked as "paid" ?

[tached1000rr]

I have 3 bikes and 3 titles....:dthumb:

3 cars and 1 truck and only have title on one of them:idk:

Recently sold my mustang which I had the title on....

[t-homo]

Cash money.

[rogue]

Having title existential issues? :idk:

I know I stared at the title to my bike for about an hour earlier today when it came in. :lol:

[unknownroad]

Yeah, bitches, it's paid for :rockwoot:

[Cass]

Paid cash for my little SV :D

Should have the title on the truck in a year or less - I randomly send them extra money, and don't keep the calculation fresh in my mind about what I still owe. I just keep track that I'm ahead of the game :)

[njchopper87]

I paid cash for the bike. Parents have the title to my car.

[thunderex]

Own 3 bikes and my car. Wife's car is leased.

[nhgunnut]

I am afraid that I learned the hard way during the 80's that Credit is not my friend so if I can pay for it I don't need it. All 6 of our bikes and both of our cars are paid for. The we do carry some paper on our house because the the accountant tells us that makes the most sense.

[Phenix_Rider]

payments make me want to puke. No payments for me. I'd rather walk first.

All my toys are 100% paid cash for. All my vehicles are 100% paid cash for.


I feel the same way. I'll be paying for school for years to come, I'm not making any other payments.

[Lamnidae]

Yeah, bitches, it's paid for :rockwoot:

WTF????


is that a god damned ammo can on that fucker?

[Leon]

All the bikes and cars are paid for. Still working on the house.

[AquaEv77]

own bike, working on the car

[cbrchick]

Own 4/5 bikes. Hubby owes on the Gas Gas that he had before we were married.

Own the Civic and the Volvo.

Owe on the house.

[MikeSP1]

I have the titles to both of my bikes, and it is a glorious feeling:rockout:

[Ducati Diva]

I have the title to my bike and the kids cars but the Jeep I make payments on

[z06boy]

I have the title in our files at home for both bikes...the Vette...the SRT...and the Jeep.

The Vette is an 02'...the SRT an 03' and the Jeep a 99' so he11 I should have the titles to them right ? :lol:

I however don't have the title/deed in hand for our home or for a townhome that we bought and rent out to tenants.

[pauldun170]

I have the title to both cars and bike. Bike and my station car, paid cash. Wifes car paid it off a year early on a 3yr loan.

[Apoc]

Nope. I owe about 16k on the Harley, and about 9k on the Snowmobile. The Car will be pad in June. i'm sure i'll buy a diesel truck then.

Fuck it, its only a payment :idk: I've never been that attached to my money.


We don't have 'Titles' here though....

[Mr Lefty]

Fuck it, its only a payment :idk: I've never been that attached to my money.

honestly I'm the same way... money is just a means to get what I want... saving it has never really been my think :lol:

but it's nice to know that I own the bike no matter what.

[fasternyou929]

I own my bike, simply because I don't want to make payments on a bike if it gets trashed at the track. If I had a note on it, that would be on my mind throughout every track day. :panic:

[Rider]

The dirt bikes I always paid cash for them, and the Gixxer, I paid off the loan 3 months after I bought it.

[Particle Man]

bought and paid for.

[wildchild]

normally I would, I have the title to my '08 Jeep and had the bike titles for the other bikes. This one however is kind of a personal zing on a guy at work. He is the completely useless idiot that every co has. I bought the bike on payments and the overtime I work to cover his screw ups makes the payments.

funny thing he got an award for my work, and when someone mentioned it to me, I told them my reward sits in the garage, he went away pouting. Yeah he'll be making another payment on her this weekend. He hates it when I thank him for the bike.

[Krabill]

The car and the Jeep are paid for. I did finance the new bike, but I went with the 0/0 for 6 months just because I got a deal I had to grab quick and needed a couple weeks to get the money together. Paid it off in less than a month, but I'm still waiting on them to mail me the title.

[Looni2ns]

Own all three free and clear. BF helped me w/first bike. Paid him off early. Bought other two, including the SV for cash. Don't want no repo man ever comin' after my Baby. :panic:

[Quick281]

I have the title to my bike but that was more or less a mistake. I still owe on it even though I could get away with never paying for it again, but thats not how I am.

[Yamerhaw]

paid in cash(not borrowed cash) , title in hand

[SoFlaSV]

Wrote checks when I bought both the SV and the Mustang.

[unknownroad]

WTF????
is that a god damned ammo can on that fucker?

You betcha. Where else are you going to get waterproof hard bags for $6? :pat:

[PhiSig1071]

Both bikes free and clear, plus my truck. Rent a room in my brothers house so rent's not a total loss.

[Smittie61984]

My truck is paid off (Though parents paid most of it from when I was in highschool) and I paid cash for my 1st motorcycle. Sold that and paid cash for my 2nd motorcycle.

I only owe $400 on a credit card and $1000 on a loan that I got for a laptop computer for school when my other laptop died and I needed one fast. Credit card was mainly to build some credit. I pay cash for all of my school classes.

[Papa_Complex]

Own them both outright. Had the VFR paid off in 6 months after buying it and bought the FZR with cash.

[MissHell]

:dthumb:

Bikes yes - four wheels, I lease.
Same here. :D

[RCM78]

I own my bikes. I'll own the cars in a few months...

[VatorMan]

Just paid $$$ for this sucker. I hate payments.

[fnfalman]

Out of all my bikes, the only one I still owe money on is the BMW. Heck, for a 0.49% APR, I would have been stupid to pay cash for it. The rest I paid cash for.

[Antwanny]

Toyota Fine-X History (http://www.toyota-wiki.com/wiki/Toyota_Fine-X)

[Mikey]

I've never financed a motorcycle- even when buying new, I pay cash. Of all my cars, I've only ever financed one, and that was when I was just starting out on my own and I paid it off early. I don't own a house anymore, but I had a mortgage on the last one and will probably have one on the next one.

It just doesn't make sense to me to finance a depreciating asset. Besides, bikes are cheap. :idk:

[highflyer]

Own both my bikes outright....the truck though, still has a few payments left, at least until my next deployment....lol

[Frostz28]

I have no problem with payments, mostly because I can't seem to save up money long enough to buy anything with cash. However, once I get a payment book I hate it and pay it off as soon as I can. Ive started a small collection of titles in my safe, I have the title for the KZ440, the GSX-R, my truck, my camaro, the KDX dirt bike, and my camper. We just bought a Jeep so we got payments on that but im gettin that "pay it off itch" and have made 2 double payments in a row. Ill probably never see the "title" for my house!

[GSXRGirl]

I have the title to my bike (paid cash) and I have the title to my Vette.

[HurricaneHeather]

I own my Ninja....paid cash for it. That's why I am really not all that concerned that is is most likely totaled right now :idk: I think I got my $1800 out of it over the past 3.5 years and 22k miles :lol:

My car will be paid off in November, paid cash for hubby's car.

I own mine...but it is 11 years old. :rockwoot:

Mine's 30 years old. Yep, it's paid for. :)

[ZUKIMON]

I try to own anything that I drive/ride. I just hate knowing that when I am paying for soemthing, it becomes worth less each payment that I make on it. :( I also don't like not being able to simply grab the title, should I choose to want to sell/trade it on a whim. I'm not rich and I have been fortunate, as of late, to be able to do some of the things that I have wanted to get done.

[Tsunami]

Yep, own the bike and the car. And should be getting my hands on another bike soon that i am paying cash for.

Now i don't mind having a bike payment (though i cant afford one right now) if they interest is low enough and i can pay it off relatively quick, or it gets transferred to a 0% apr credit card, since i don't necessarily want to cough up lump cash like that.

I am holding out getting a newer car though, since i dont' want the payments. My car is a 94 corolla and i'm going to drive it to the ground first! Hopefully I can get another couple of years out of it first!

[ceo012384]

Yup. Bought mine brand new, straight cash.
Bike I owe like 8800 on...Car was paid Cash...So was the talon but that doesnt run yet.
Wow, you got raped.

[Papa_Complex]

A friend just paid CAN$8800 + tax for a brand new '08 BMW F800ST. That's less than I paid for my VFR800, 8 years ago. The industry is hurting.

[Digifox]

Pay Cash for everything we buy...
So yes we "own" our bikes/cars.

:rockout:

[Switch]

I own all 4 of them.

I have the title to my bike (paid cash) and I have the title to my Vette.

Good story, will read again.
