Of course there is another option...



Keep the Miata AND buy a bike!  Keep the Miata for transportation and find

a nice older bike to ride.  Used bikes are not that expensive, are cheaper

to insure than a new bike and there's nothing quite like twisting the

throttle and blasting your cares away!!!  (Right Bill?)  :)
