How can you tell if a guy is having a mid-life crisis?
« on: February 27, 2007, 05:13:40 PM »


Look between his legs, and if there is a motorcycle there.....
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

So, you're saying I had my mid-life crisis at age 26?  ??? :P

Let me get serial for a moment....I'm 53. A dead sitter for a mid-life lithium meltdown/affair/job change/major f*ck up. My mental health hasn't been better since I bought my K0 back in September 2005. I have quit smoking, I'm breathing easier and running a lot quicker (dig the motorcycling allegory?). I'm happier, and, I think, healthier. I'm meeting lots of people and never seem to have free time on my hands, never seem to be bored any more because I'm moving in three or four different directions related to motor-syckl-ing. Thanks Mr Honda.

I'm nowhere near mislifecrisis yet, but I think our bikes don't count as midlifecrisis-mobiles.
My dad wanted to buy a sportscar when he hit his midlife, but he couldn't get out the driversseat without help, too low.  ;D Nothing beats an old guy on a Trike though.
