'Tis a sad day....

[primal]

So this morning I started suiting up to ride to class. Went out and started my KZ. After fighting with it for several minutes (its a hard starter when it hasn't been run for a few days) it finally started up. I get my jacket on, put on my helmet, and what do I hear?

Yup, looks like one of the cylinders dropped a valve.

So, I think the bike is down for the count, because I'm not going to spend more money to fix it now.

I'm in a predicament: do I part the bike out and recoup some of my loss to help pay for a new bike? Or do I stash the bike under my deck and get around to trying to fix it some day in the distant future?
