I sold my first bike :(

Welcome to my blog after a long break. You certainly remember my post, that was called "How did I start my adventure with motorcycles ?" and I described my 2008 Loncin dirt bike. I've bought it on the 22th April 2015. I have ridden on it for 3 years, so that was such a long time for me :). 3 years ago I was 156 centimetres of tall, but in year 2018 I'm 176 centimetres now. 2 weeks ago I sat on this bike. Then I said " Oh no. He is too small for me." After that with deep regret I decided to sell him. This bike isn't big. It's only 75 centimetres from the ground to seat height. 10th April 2018 together with my dad, we added a sale announcement on the OLX website. Next day 11th April 2018 when I came back from school  the first eager customer was already in the yard. The customer checked if everything is ok and he made a test drive. After long negotiations, I sold my dirt bike. I was glad that I had my money back. I was also sad, because I said goodbye to my favorite dirt bike. That's how my story ended with my first motorcycle. I will remember him in my memories :'). Maybe in the future I will ride in a bigger one - My dad's 1991 Yamaha XT 600.
