Man, I forgot about Suzy Q's Ron. I could put those away by the box. One of my other faves was Drake's devil dogs.

Back then I could eat those and wake up with a 32" waist. And be a 1/2" taller. Now I expand horizontally.

Same here. In my younger days I could eat anything and not gain a pound. Now, I have to watch what I eat to keep from gaining weight and inches.

Getting old sucks.

Not a competition. If you can pay cash that's great, I can finance cars and bikes, even a house for less that I get on return for the money I have. Yes when I buy a project Evo or Shovel I pay cash.
Perhaps a better non-question would be
Riding, dreaming of riding while saving up, or don't understand money and the value of pleasure

lmbo @ the anger. It's good to see who the keyboard warriors are out talking smack. The post wasn't meant to be sarcastic and yes I should have edited. I forgot all about it. I can see where some would find it offensive. Too funny.

I did finance. Was lucky enough to pay off loan very early. Only paying $151.22 in interest.
Yes, very happy now!
