Default talk about old life crisis

talk about late life crisis

'05 busa w/ 300mi

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...407279478.html

i'm assuming thats the seller and rider

thats alot of bling for a 70y.o. guy



while you guys might not believe, beyond the bling there are ALOT of old seasoned riders on busa's. when i joined it 2 yrs ago, a guy was killed on his bike, dude was a WWII vet.

Went to get something sorted out on my bike today and there was an older guy on q goldwing there who had nO business being on a motorcycle. He looked like he wouldn't make a through a basic msf course.
On the other hand I've run across some old coots that ride a hell of lot better than most

Looks more like early 60's, not 70

And I'd rather see an older guy spend money on his bike, than some 20-something who really shouldn't be wasting that kind of dough on a discretionary toy.

that bike isnt meant for curvy roads. You can tell by the massive hard on he's hiding he's only got one thing in mind with that machine.

Umm, what does age have to do with the amount of money you make?

I make 75~/yr, im not 30 yet. I think I damn well have the right to buy anything I want, as long as I can afford it.
