Well the life expectancy of a male in the US is what.....75..?? So a "mid life crisis" would have to take place at about age 37 or so. Well come on now guys.............how long has it been since your 37th B-day??? I know its been a decade or so for me.....so I guess my mid life crisis came and went without me ever noticing.....heck.....I guess life owes me at least one more cool purchase....new Ford HD F-350 TD?????

I am assuming you think GM trucks are better than Ford trucks......they are not. I can go through 2 GM for every Ford. The Fords may not be as comfortable riding as the GM product.....but as for toughness, the Ford wins hands down.
I do like the 07 Chevy pick-up's, and I know they have come a long way....but because of plenty of past experience I would STILL go with a Ford F-250 Super Duty. Thats assuming you could EVER get me to give up my Bronco's.

I came away with a new BMW and a used Harley, how can one call that a 'crisis'? I called it an an awful lot of fun and getting better all the time

Hey Dale, I'm in Cheyenne, got the same bike without the tug. I've only gone to the stage-1 so far, but who knows what the future holds. I got mine about a week before you got yours, got about 1300 on it, but with the coming of ice and salt/sand I've put it in winter storage. PM me some time if your coming down this way again, sure would like to get a close look at that side-car.

Nope, my doctors tell me it's not called mid-life crisis.....It's "bi-polar"......AND IT'S FUN to be bi-polar!

As long as it's not a Dodge.. they rust faster in New England than a Hundai!
