I married my mid life crisis, and she say to me I never met someone with so many toys. I reply I bought them before I married you so don't get any ideas. I'm 49 and she's 28, works for me.

I know the feeling. I have three bikes in the garage and get the same reaction from my two daughters. I can't really say it's a mid-life crisis because I've been pretty juvenile my whole life. They tell me I'm 51 going on 19. I would have to agree and don't consider it a problem.

Are you supposed to buy a bike when you have a mid-life crisis? In that case, my crisis officially started when I was 26.

I agree, what age is considered a mid-life crisis??? Because if having a nice things is that, than I am already there.

I am thoroughly loving my mid life crisis. It's been with me since my first Harley at age 19.
