[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4610104, member: 77939"] Brag? I thought we were talking about bikes. I have a few. I buy , sell, trade maybe collect. I do have a plane and a vette. What's odd is say vette51 seems to get a pass and I get crap. Now, it took me 40 years of working(I don't seem to get any credit for that) but brag? I'm abused because over the years I've bought a few Harley's? You guys act like they are yachts. 10-20 year old Harleys are relatively cheap. So are 15 year old vette's. I own an experimental plane because I'm a certified A&P mechanic(i.e. I can do all the maintenance and inspections)(saves $$$)(you really have no idea the personal sacrifice it took to work a 50 hour week in feeders and go to mechanic school). Shrewd financially I think. But no, I get crap. I guess to some of the retirees here(where just taking a walk seems to be something)(Bless you all) it might seem like a lot. But if you burned it all-not really. I mention some of those bikes for reference.....................to the BIKE conversation. Context. But no, jealous , personal abuse and attacks. So odd. Jealousy: act of showing envy for someone's achievements or possessions. Check it out. Get some help. Now want to talk about bikes? I have a few..... But then I got to thinking, this is the same crowd that was/is abusive even talking about safety and how to save lives. Abusive on the back of a dead co-worker/friend(at UPS)(killed at work). So odd. Weird even. Such inner personal demons and failures. [/QUOTE]
