Yes, Way richer than I could ever have hoped for, in so many ways.

edit: I live out in the country in a hundred year old farmhouse with acerage, so I'll never be able to be a bonifide RUB if I wanted to be one. I ride with a few who are great guys. Labels, they don't really mean that much, do they?

I have a very good paying job, but I am not a RUB.
If youre waiting on a 20K toy to come in , sorry but you are or soon will be a Certified RUB.
I guess it is based on ones definition of RUB. I consider a RUB someone with 2 or 3 new HD's and puts a few hundred miles on a year, when the weather is nice.

I have one "toy", have heated gear & ride year round, lucky to have a good job, and don't consider myself a RUB.

Have a nice day.
20k toy, weather you ride it a lot or a little, to many like it or not, you and most all us too will always be RUBS.

We bring down between $140 - 160K a year, but when you have a house, college kid your supporting, 2 new Harleys in one year, a boat, Momma's new Mustang, it's all relevant. Can't take it with me when I die, know what I mean?

To me Rich is not money. Money makes one wealthy if managed correctly. Being Rich is having your home, family and friends and no regrets. Looking at it that way I am very Rich but not very wealthy. What does RUB mean?
Very well said, my friend! I'm with you.

Oh well, rich or poor, it's probably better to have a 20k toy than a 20k serious anything. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]
