harley davidsons aging biker problem
You and I had put this **** to rest between us I had though and for the record my last job of 20 years quit me and 4800 other people because the " Successful " bunch you claim to belong to wanted higher stock returns and basicly run the company out of the country . Before that I had a lot of jobs through the 70's & 80's , as many as 3 in one year , some of us have seen the economy take a **** before you do what you have to when you have a child to raise . It's also called life experience which your showing you have damn little of .
Bitter not by a long f*cking shot kid I'm happy as puppy with 2 peckers , I'm semi retired under 60 , have more hair on my head than you do , all my teeth are my own and that,s saying something considering some of roads I've traveled in life and skill has big time been involved there . I still bench 175lbs and have a woman who makes bank money with an MBA in International Businesss Admin. and I'm bitter ?
My day is whatever ever I want it to be . I have a very well set up & tooled shop at home and do a decent business working on these old decrepit oil leakers you so gayly to like to put down .
I don't want a new bike I never have I can drop cash tomorrow for anyone I care to but I enjoy building mine the way I want it to be and unless you've dropped another 6 grand on a MOCO kit my 38 yr old bike will out run & out handle yours . I walk up to the local " biker "bar during a run and see on the average at least a 1/2 dozen of those squeaky new leather guys standing out front with that lost look because there,s 20+ bikes that look alike and they have no clue which is theirs .
My condolences on your dad and I do mean that heart felt wouldn't wish it on anyone , but I've lost family and friends in 4 wars now what makes your grief so high and mighty over anyone else's ?
And for the books most hard core old school boys I've known not to mention most real people I know today are vets so you are pissing on a VERY large group of people with that " My Daddy Died " crack and some of them may take objection just a tip bud .
Just a bit of advice , lose the " It's all about ME " attitude or the bike , those two make lousy bedfellows and it always ends bad .
Had to Edit ;
I've 2 nephews with 5 combined tours in the sand box's who both ride and they just read some of your stuff . They both would like a word with you about how their sacrifice has enabled your narrow privileged *** to talk **** publicly without ever doing the walk yourself . Personally I'm hoping you guys never meet , I don't want to be bailing them out for something this stupid . These kids grew up in a combat zone in downtown Baltimore MD , they were hard before Uncle Sam turned them loose to go play .
You really have no clue what the world is like outside your some what closed slice of it do you ? You might be an ok guy face to face but I don't hold much hope there . I'm going to suggest don't poke sticks at things you know nothing about , you could get a good look down the rabbit hole Alice .
