No sarcasm intended - sorry it came off that way. Many of us "older" guys that have nice bikes do so at the expense of having less in other areas of our lives. For me it's my car. I personally choose to drive my serviceable 16 year old car with 160K miles so I can put more resources into my bikes.

At the same time, stating that you don't think it will be OCP because it's gonna be put to good use assumes that people who consider themselves OCP don't ride or put their nice bikes to good use - which is completely wrong. We may not race but we ride the hell out of our bikes.

And remember, OCP is a state of mind. An attitude that says: "screw you, I don't care that you think I'm not 'deserving' of my nice bike because I don't use it the way YOU think I should. I'm going to do what I want."

Ride on brother.
