Stop, go buy it, too much thinking, then go ride! Time is awasting

Both overrated! Stick with the bikes - you'll go farther and last longer.

Your Trek dealer will have a stoke when you pass away.

How do you decide which one to ride each day? This is like having a harem. I guess if you can't decide you just go down to the Trek store and pick up a new one.

You're doing what everyone wishes they could do in our dreams. Does your wife know about this addiction? Don't tell mom!

Dudelsack 06-17-14 08:36 AM
Anyway, it's a better subject to pursue than hookers and blow.

She knows I have quite a few bikes to start with that when i come home with a new one, I quickly get it in my shop and stick it in the row somewhere..:) Honestly she really dont care and it just happens to be a heavy interest i have. I also do ride believe it or not. I ride about 20 to 35 miles EVERY single day the weather is permitting. No I am not no stud on a bike, but 60 years old and weighing about 148 lbs, I am quite content how things are going..

I'm like that with firearms. One more in the stable and no one cares. Enjoy your rides my friend.
