What would you do if you were given $10,000 tax free? It’s not a huge sum of money but it’s a nice chunk. I figure since this is a motorcycle group most would probably buy a bike. I could be wrong. Would some of you start a new business? If so what kind? Buy a new car? Down payment on a house? Invest in the stock market? Save it for your kids college? Pay off bills? Go to the bank and get 10,000 one dollar bills and roll around naked on it. BTW unless those are “new” bills that’s pretty gross. Would you spend it on a dream trip? What would you do with $10,000?

I would give 2400 to my brother for the school trip to Germany that he wants to go on, then use the rest to buy a zx-6r. :grin:

05 636 and the rest would help by my bro the dirtbike he wants.


Apache do you play paintball? Or is your Avatar just for fun?

 

[ENP83]

That's easy, '05 Monster S2R dark, then sell my SV for CF bits and pieces for the Monster :grin:

 

[Apache_16]

I play, but not speedball very much, haven't discovered any around here yet. :frown:

 

[wingswheels]

pay for books, classes, etc

it would be gone so fast it wouldn't be funny

 

[yotsko]

Yeah no joke. Pay back my student loans so I can actually buy stuff with my paychecks.

I'd have to invest it in the stock market, or something that will double my money. NO NOT CRACK OR HEROIN!!! :lol:

 

[evilmink269]

Invest 5 or 6k and use the rest for a dream trip put a bit aside for that dirt bike I need to learn how to ride :lol:

I'd pay for my g/f's cancer treatments, or for whatever that would cover for her.

I'd pay the bills.

 

[OldFatGuy]

I have at least $10K worth of stuff I'd like to do around the house. I'm pretty sure it would end up being used for that.

 

[SBW-ADRNLN71]

Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread but GS you had someone fighting cancer too didn't you? How are they doing? Again sorry for the hijack.

 

[StuDaddy]

Mine would be gone in one check to Citibank.... goddamn it /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

 

[GSRider]

I'll PM you :smile:

 

[SpikedLemon]

"Crap" around the house... another dent in the mortgage...

Sadly, $10k won't get far enough for too many toys.

 

[JoeFriday]

ten grand...yeah I think everyone could spend it within an hour if they had to... :laugh:

If I was going to just spend it on stuff (and be self indulgent);
1) New tires, and some dual mini Fiamm horns for the bike.
2) Nice leather jacket (from Vanson), potentially custom.
3) Dedicated track bike and a dozen track days.
4) Riding school ( maybe that should happen before #3)
5) Cabinet saw, 10" from Sawstop (table saw that stops when
it hits flesh instead of wood) and a couple thousand in woodworking tools.
6) Nice A/V receiver, Denon or Onkyo mid to high end.
7) Snowboard vacation.
8) Paying for a two week ride (with some friends) to nowhere in particular.
9) Go to some MotoGP races. Maybe the Isle of Mann race too.

Reality would be much more dull (put money in bank, spend on dull things like washing machines, kitchen appliances, etc) but since that 10K hasn't shown up yet, I'm going to continue to dream of fun things.
:grin:

 

[xspeedxracerx]

I would pay for a hitman to take out paintball. And whatever I had left I would put down on an '05 6r

 

[fuzzygalore]

I'd spend $515 on a pair of Prada velvet shoes I have my eye on.
Put $5K in the bank to re-paint my house in the spring.
Then, take a trip to Tokyo.

Money's all gone. Hey! Just like real life! :smile:

 

[wingswheels]

joe- bit of advice, don't test out your table saw, or even better NEVER STICK YOUR FINGER IN A SPINNING BLADE

what if you wanted to cut foam or something, would it sense soft, and stop? what if there was silicon caulk on a piece of wood you were working with, what if you wanted to chop someones hand off? so many possible situtations where its a bad thing :lol:
