Damn, if owning a bike means you are in a mid life crisis I hit mine at around 13 years of age. Damn that makes me feel old.
I guess at 42 years old now I am at my end of life crisis?
She said, I see you're still going through you're mid-life crisis huh?... I said no... that ended when I divorced your ***... This is my second childhood...
I agree with you. Crisis is bad. Wanting a new Harley is Good.
Also while we are on the subject lets change the saying "Senior Moment" to " Teenage Moment" because at least we knew it we just filed it in our memory bank behind something. They " Never" knew it.
In the study below I found on the net.. NOTHING about buying another Harley so go for it..
Doctors and psychologists who believe the mid-life crisis is a genuine condition have identified a wide range of symptoms.
Irritability
Loss of libido (sex drive)
Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
Fatigue
Depression, low moods and feelings of sadness. One study suggested that those undergoing mid-life difficulties may be distinguished from other men affected by depression by their sense of urgency. Such men are driven to keep being active, sometimes even more active than they were before the crisis.
Some men may also be affected by:
Stiffness in the muscles and joints. Night sweats. Dry skin. Hair loss. Weight gain
A loss of ability to recover quickly from injuries. Several of these symptoms, occurring together, might understandably provoke a sense of crisis in a man.
According to one of my riding buddies, his mid-life crisis started when he bought a Vespa. At that point he realized that it was more fun to ride than his RK. Before that he had figured out that the RK was more fun to ride than his Wing. He's got a CRISIS. You've got a minor issue.
My mid life crisis end when I got my Ultra, that was the crisis, I didn't have a harley. I'm a very happy guy these days, even my wife said if I'd known this I would have bought you one 10 years ago!
