Here’s the sneaky story:
An old work colleague had just bought a brand new
Yamaha YZ125. (If you’re not into bikes, just know that’s
a crazy dirt bike like the pro motocross riders use.)
But he had a problem…
Right after he bought the bike, they released a new model!
And his wife wouldn’t let him buy the new bike because
he’d just spent a small fortune on the first one.
But the good news is he also wanted a website for his new
side business, so we worked out a little deal…
He would buy the new bike, give me the “old” one, and I
would build him a website.
(He figured his wife wouldn’t notice he had a new bike as
long as he only had one bike.)
So I built him one of my $500 websites, and he gave me
his almost brand new $7,000 bike.
(You can imagine how excited I was at landing that deal.
I still grin thinking about it.)
Now, I should mention…
