Congrats,

I pad mine off a little while ago. It is the first vehicle I've ever owned outright.

I've also paid off my 120R...

But I don't have another vehicle at the moment.

this will sound weird, but back in the mid eighties me and my wife did plastic surgery on our credit cards. only using cash through the week and it was amazing how much we had left over each payday rather than being in debt to the credit card companies. i now wait till i can afford whatever it is that i want to buy and save for it. i built my own home with whatever i could afford to put into it each month, so no house payments. only insurance and utilities. there's nothing made that i'd go into debt to own. it's a lot less stress if you can become totally debt free. congratulations on now owning your bike outright, good for you.

Congrats - feels great doesn't it? We got the title to hubby's EG Monday (paid off over a year early) - more money each month to put into mine and pay it off ahead of time too.

Paying mine off next month. The only recurring debt will be the house payment.

Now the only question is whether I add it to house payment or put it into savings/investment to pay cash for the next one.

Congratulations. Nothing like the feeling of going down the road on a bike you own. Been debt free since 2006.
