Welcome to the mid-life crisis center known as Harley-Davidson motorcycling. I've been having a mid-life crisis for 20 years and it is what has saved my life.

Sounds like you know some people that don't know anything about owning a Harley, and are making fun of something they know nothing about.

Let's just keep the secret to ourselves and not worry about those [sm=loser.gif]

ORIGINAL: chunks

Howdy folks,

Just bought my first Harley. 2005 Fat Boy. I'm way psyched.

I've heard the expression "Mid-life crisis" more in the last
week than ever before.

Since I'm not middle aged, I am covered with ink, and I've been riding for years,
(just not on a real bike till now) I'm thinking the label doesnt really apply

Hey Chunks, welcome aboard and congrats on the bike. Hope you enjoy it here and all I gotta say is who cares if you're going through a mid-life crisis (not that I'm saying you are); at least now you've got a great way to get out of it.

Mike's right, they are just jealous. I've been riding forever, but some jerk I just met said the same thing to me recently when he saw my ride. As I said, jerk.

My wife just bought a new Mustang last week, sweet, Red, fast. Both her mother and my mother said she's going through a phase. It's not a phase, it's a choice in life, and neither one of us would be caught dead driving a minivan and worrying about "murdercycles" My opinion, those losers should get over it, we all live the correct lifestyle, they are the ones who are wrong.

Long live biking!
