midlife crisis
I am 54 & have not owned a bike for about 15 years (a 600 honda). Now I have an 06 night train. If 1 more dumb *** makes a comment about the mid life crisis thing, I'm going to tell them it was a tossup between a HD orcocaine & ******. Ought to go over big in church

RE: midlife crisis
Now that's the part of the sermon I'd love to see. Eh....people think because they have those feelings of needing something to fulfill their own midlife crisis, that you must have them too. Kinda like the wife who constantly accuses the hubby of cheating on her...when she's the one banging the poolboy. Psychologists call it projection.
I call it beeing a douche. Don't let 'em get to ya ~ F them and enjoy riding the Train!

RE: midlife crisis
Ya mean we need to pick either HD OR cocaine and ******??? I guess I didn't get the memo. And by the way - there is nothing wrong with having a little mid-life crisis. Mine started at age 50 when I got my first Harley in over 20 years. At age 54, I went skydiving for the first time in over 30 years.Then I added an Ultraclassic to the garage. Now at age 55 and recently retired and soon-to-be divorced, I am enjoying my mid-life crisis to the max and have no intention of getting over it.

Had a bike most of my Adult life (took me until 25 to pass my test). Only not had a bike for a year when I was with my first wife and we were skint. My mid life crisis would be giving it up!

I'm 49 and just got my first Harley this past winter. I own a Corvette and put a nitrous system on it just for kicksand a 9 second 1/4 mile drag car amoung other toys I've aquired within the last 5 years or so. When someone says I'm having a mid-life crisis or calls my toys ***** extensions I just laugh and continue enjoying life. The fact that it took me this long to be able to afford the things I want would be the only reason I didn't have all these things 20 years ago.
I kinda feel sorry for the folks that are afraid to embrace life and fulfill their dreams because they think they are to old or worse, are afraid what others might think of them. Get out there and do what you want, call it a mid-life crisis or whatever, embrace it, run with it, GO!
It's like this, I'd rather burn out than fade away.

RE: midlife crisis
It's funny how other people try and quantify things they don't understand. You have a vehicle that gets better gas mileage that whatever they have (unless it's one of those POS toy looking cars and who the hell would want to drive that?) and it's fun to boot. Win-win situation, but the people who make those stupid comments have probably never sat on a bike before because they'retoo dangerous, at least that's what their mommies told them. Screw 'em.
