I believe it is probably because it is his that he earned. As far as I'm concerned he can burn it if he wants to. I don't have a lot but I sure as hell don't expect anyone else to give me what they have unless they choose to.

I also don't believe that anyone that does their job well is overpaid if, and only if they are in the private sector and paid through the profits from whatever endeavor they are involved in. The public sector is whole different thing to me however. As far as I know public servant does not equate to pay yourself whatever you want as we see our elected officials doing.

more. Not only has everything been rode but almost everything can be ridden. Give him a day and most anything there can be on the street including his half-track cycles. Try the virtual tour at

The bike you ride is considered "excess" to those with nothing. Somebody is always gonna have more than the next guy......that's life. Your comment could be applied across the board in every circumstance of somebody having more than somebody else. Let us all know when you sell your bike.....hypocrite.

Yep, if I had that money, I still wouldn't want bike or cars I don't use. More like, I'd want a serious workshop to build my own.

If I was going to buy anything I don't use as an investment, it would be guitars - vehicles and guns and such can't touch them for appreciation.

And maybe he does but we dont know. Am I jealous of the obvious wealth? Yes. But then again is Drew Brees worth his contract for just playing football?

Just read an article that the poverty line in this country is at the highest level since 1965.

Sadly his surviving relatives will climb all over this when he passes. Cant take it with you!
I've got 80 acres. Am I supposed to just give half of it to some homeless guy because he's too drunk or stupid to get a job?

Man what an impressive Dude, now for all you Obama supporters out there, the American dream is dying cause of the ignorance and jealous that is overtaking our population. This guy probably employs quite a few employees at his estate and I would love to see their Xmas bonus.

Seriously guys, If you don't want to do something for yourself to get ahead, you are foolish and considering how many of our Troops have fought and died for all of us to live the American Dream is quite frankly insulting.

We all can do better unless your a socialist democrat
