sittin here drinking single malt scotch, listening to No means No full volume on the headphones. . .

Damn, what happened?

I used to be such an ass hole. Now I'm like boring, blog reading, working, being prepared, online poker playing LOSER.

Growing up and having kids can seriously suck in some ways, lemme tell ya. . .

There used to be so many women to swerve, juice to drink, mountains to mount, hubris to collect, memories to forget. . .

I figure I'm lucky, having my midage crisis at the ripe turn of 35.

Buy a Harley. That seems to be 'in' thing to do when you have a mid-life crisis.

I promised my dead grandma 25 years ago I'd never own a motorcycle. . .

Good. Nobody respects you on a Harley anyway except other middle-aged Harley 'tards.

If you REALLy are having a mid life crisis then you take a sledge hammer to whatever it is you have now, so you can go out a drop $5000 on the best of the best, something that causes all the lights to dim and the fridge to hiccup when you press the power switch... something like Beaver's pc.

Or a BMW. Bike, not car.

Married?

Then the BMW K1200 GT or the R1200 CL . 28~29 mil. (Shocking? Hey, look what Koreans spend on Grandeurs)

But if it's only your own neck you'd be risking, then the "little" Harley Sportster for, like, 11 mil. & up?

Now, you're talking my language! If you're going to blow a lot of money on over-priced, over-hyped motorcycles, you go all out and get something that actually comes close to matching the hype!
Triumph and Ducati are also acceptable substitutes.

Triumphs for sure cost less. Nothing over 20 mil. from what I've seen. Don't know about Ducati models or prices.

But BMW bikes aren't really over-priced vis-a-vis Harleys here, at least not for what appeals to me. I know I'd have to spend more for the one or two Harleys that I'd consider... but nahhh. I'm just not the Harley type.

Maybe you should mix things up a little. Mount the women, swerve the hubris, forget the juice and drink the memories.

That's as close to being a perfect post as I've ever seen here- seriously.

I remember watching this guy pull into my house on one when I was 4, and nearing shitting my britches. I remember watching guys build motorcycles from scratch in my garage when I was 6 years old. I remember going to the motorcyle races in Surry County and watching guys drag race all weekend when I was barely out of diapers. And I remember my mom dragging me to the junkyard nearly nightly when I was a tender young lad so she could sit around and drink with a bunch of bikers while they built more motorcycles from scratch.

Guess it takes all types to make the world go 'round, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Being a fan of motorsickles (and more specifically Harleys) is the only thing that keeps me from descending into utter nerddom. I'm sorry you had to experience tools riding Harleys (they do exist), but the legend still lives on.

But a Harley just because... Personally, can't ever see myself having a mid-life crisis - kinda hard to I suppose when you haven't grown up much to begin with... Anyone relate?

Personally I think a midlife crisis would be worse if you never much grew up to begin with because there would be no maturity on which to hang your hat.

I also think it's mad to buy a new motorbike for thirty million won or something like that. I've got two, a 750 highway bike and a 350 enduro which together cost me three million. 13 years old each one, but the wheels go 'round.

Ahhhh ... Freedom Wink

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_(novel)

Like the rest of the population, Winston lives a squalid and materially deprived existence. He lives in a filthy one-room apartment in "Victory Mansions", and is forced to live on a diet of hard bread, synthetic meals served at his workplace, and vast amounts of industrial-grade "Victory Gin" (SOJU).

He is deeply unhappy in his life and keeps a secret diary of his illegal thoughts about the Party. Winston is employed by the Ministry of Truth, which exercises complete control over all media in Oceania: his job in the Ministry's Records Department involves doctoring historical records in order to comply with the Party's version of the past.

Since the perception of the past is constantly shaped by the events of the present, the task is a never-ending one.
