I'm 30, buying my dreamhouse, sharing it with my wife (RN Nurse ) and 10 year old daughter ( Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do) who stunts on her 50' . I'm an Operations Supervisor at Fed EX Freight. Not a relly good stunter unless you count my 10 yard wheelies and excessive beer drinking. Funny I've never mixed ridin' and drinking.......

Your supposed to have a job????? I'm unemployed, and sitting at home because I can't WALK. Dang bike injuries will get the best of ya!!! I'm about to start college in the spring, all I can say is the way I afford it is finance. Not too mention those two Great Danes of mine made me some cash with those puppies.

I want to go to college but I just dont get how some of you can go to college and still afford a bike. I mean, is anyone else not going to college right now and lives on there own and can make all these payments. Do you guys landscape and work a ton of hours to be able to have all the toys. I had a bike in 2001 and 2002, but I didnt live in an apartment and I cant get a bike this summer and Im real pissed. Sorry to complain , but I just wanna know what Im doing wrong, I dont get how all you on here, Im assuming are aroung my age of 22 can afford all the toys and go to college and or live out of your parents house. You guys dont know how pissed I get when I see a bike or here a bike tear by the house or on the freeway, wow, it sucks. I mean , its nice having an apartment to party in, but I think I still rather have a bike.

Im pretty much broke now, because I work ( how does that happen??) I bought a 97 chevy astro van to haul my bike around in, and live in a sweet house on the beach. dont really have any parties, but im still down to get trashed every once in a while. I dont really have any time to ride anymore. wish I did......

( if you want to know...they did cancel.... cuz i aint given up ****....) or make an international dialing call and swear that they were not in mexico.... yeeeaa WHATEVAAA!!! or just want go over the bill cuz your got dam ignerant... or call in and want to know why you phone isnt working? oh.... i see you havent made a payment in 3 matha ****in months....uhhh...that would be why your phone isnt working... do you want some bonus min sir....huh... do ya... well then maby you should hang up and then call back because i aint given ya chit..... but hey thanks for calling >8' )

Re: What does everyone do for a living?
18y/o punk kid. high school senior, live with my parents. I've worked since I was 16. Im now working behind a meat counter making $8/hour. I've owned an old dirtbike, a 97 250 ninja, (both sold) and now a 91 F2. Also I drive a crunchy 94 Mustang (totalled twice) with way too much motor work that I did myself. (ported heads/exhaust/shift kit/ect...). Lately $ has went to court fee's & fines from a Minor in Consumption i got last month . Hoping to move out this summer with some friends, then go to a local (2yr) college next year?
