I want a motorcycle

[jimhelm]

The thought had actually occurred to me, I must admit. I am 41 today. Actually at 1:20 am, I will be... If I live to be 82 I will be ahead of the average male, if not for my family (most of my dad's side makes 90 something) ....and my life is,perhaps, in what you might call a crisis. Certainly a transition, anyway.

Thing is, I am not feeling old or particularly unattractive. I've proven to myself that I can get dates, get laid, etc.... I'm not wanting a motorcycle for the image. I won't be draping myself in leather and conchos, by any means. I just had a really really good time riding on a day where most 'bikers' stayed inside and kept dry.

When I was 24, I sold my bike and bought a washer dryer set. We needed it. I find myself in a position where I can do whatever I want to, and this want is a strong one. I've neve been very good at depriving myself of things I want, and I know it. That's why I'm fat. I absolutely should not buy a motorcycle until I have my finances repaired and money saved.... Thing is, I'm so fucked in that department, that by the time that happens, I will be too old to ride!

This is not the smartest thing I could do. I could get hurt. I could use the money for other things. I may end up having to sell it if things get bad again with the economy.....

So, anyway.... I'm gonna go test ride that boulevard tomorrow!
