This raises something that has been bothering me for some time. Expectations seems to be at an all time high. People expect new Iphones, and big screen TV's and new leased cars and McMansions and eating out 75 percent of the time. That isn't comfortable, that isn't even middle class. That is upper middle class.

I did the same. Daughter's going on 19 now and got her own place last fall. Free time and money are back once again. This^^^ Hesitation will piss you off in hindsight. Bike is back up for sale because it was meant to come back home....dive on that shit Brian

100% pirate. 99.9 if you count me.

Actually I have several PMs for the bike already. I posted here and on the Ohio thread on advrider. Apparently I under priced it Oh well I feel like I got my money's worth from the bike, I hope she treats the next owner as well as me. Craig

I'm sorry.

Actually, I can do both since the good shit is the base for the apple pie version that the two girls want me to bring. Just make a double batch and not convert it all. No offense intended to the one girl that is an actual girl.

I disagree. Once the expenses start rolling in you'll be less likely to buy a toy (or anything really) for yourself for a while. Buy now before kids come. Then sell if you really need the money.

Yeah, people are buying gadgets and fluff rather than saving for retirement. I know a lot of people who have virtually nothing saved for retirement and aren't actively contributing anything to a retirement account. It's going to be pretty bad in the next 20-30 years. I've been pretty lucky in that the firm that I work for gives a significant 401k match and I have been max funding since the market downturn in 2008. I understand that when you are starving it's hard to save for the future. When I was in my early to mid 20's I barely saved anything and was one car breakdown away from financial ruin but managed to literally work my way out of it. As usual, knowing what I know now, I'd do things differently. It takes a lot less savings if you start when you are young compared to trying to catch up when you are older. Compounding growth is a wonderful thing.

This is the closest and next is the following. This weekend is the closest weekend to now. Next weekend is April 30/May 1. Those different people are just wrong.

So the sensible Tonik wants to close the poll and bring the weak stuff. The hateful Tonik wants to close the poll and bring the insane stuff and watch you asshats shit yourself and drown in your own puke.

I was at a cookout where something similar happened... it was bad for them and everybody else. I sucked vomit out of a strangers throat with a turkey baster and ripped his shit filled pants while trying to turn his 250lb+ body to a position that he wouldn't be choking on said vomit. Then nobody wanted to eat hotdogs and play corn hole anymore

Oh, how many taco, nacho, and burrito jokes I could come up with on this one...

haha back off you F'ers!!

I'd have a reckless op in no time on one of those.

I would meet you up there but I am designated driver for my wife's girls night out tonight. Could be really good to be Tonik tonight.

Looking forward to make this, slow group i guess. i did ride this past weekend with the CSBA and i was right behind @JCMathis so it shouldn't be a big deal. I'll be meeting with in @Hellmutt Columbus and then ride there. certainly this will be my first Epic ride but i've been riding for a couple years.

Looking forward to meet you guys at Columbus stop.

Come to Sam's in Massilon this Saturday, looks like all the characters will be there.

You mean I can't just vote for a socialist president to bail me out adding debt to the next generations?

Casper Just wondering about your screen name and its meaning. Is it like the ghost or spirit you know it there somewhere but you never actually see?

In my defense, I DID put the date also :/

Tell him to tell her to GTFO.

Yeah, kids can kill a lot of dreams and hobbies. I had my one early, which wasn't easy being young but definitely freed up my time and $ for later in life. In fact, in August I'm going to be a grandfather (don't think I spilled that on here before). I have a friend at work who used to ride a VFR, sold it when he had his third and really wants one again but the wife is all

I'm not exactly one to judge about timing of children.

We all know which Tonik will win out

Now I remember why I didn't go to college.... I hate school.

Unfortunately Ive got a ton going on the next 2 months.. moving at the end of this month and Baby the middle of june.. I would love to make this but it will be a last minute deal for me. And ill be trucking it down if I go because we will be staying the weekend at the inlaws. its penciled in. I ll fit in where I can..

Lycra is so 2015. Italian carbon soles to go with my assless chaps would be to die for though.
