Default talk about old life crisis

talk about late life crisis

'05 busa w/ 300mi

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...407279478.html

i'm assuming thats the seller and rider

thats alot of bling for a 70y.o. guy



while you guys might not believe, beyond the bling there are ALOT of old seasoned riders on busa's. when i joined it 2 yrs ago, a guy was killed on his bike, dude was a WWII vet.

Went to get something sorted out on my bike today and there was an older guy on q goldwing there who had nO business being on a motorcycle. He looked like he wouldn't make a through a basic msf course.
On the other hand I've run across some old coots that ride a hell of lot better than most

Looks more like early 60's, not 70

And I'd rather see an older guy spend money on his bike, than some 20-something who really shouldn't be wasting that kind of dough on a discretionary toy.

Umm, what does age have to do with the amount of money you make?

I make 75~/yr, im not 30 yet. I think I damn well have the right to buy anything I want, as long as I can afford it.

Bingo. I think this is what he was after. MOST 20 somthings can't afford an expensive bike.

The year before I got burned I made 71k. The year I got burned I had 34k made by June 1st. and just got a $2.20/hr raise a few months ago. I may make closer to 80 this year.
