Well today I had one of those milestone birthdays that end with a zero.  It was a good day.   In fact the past week has been a good week.  A lot of things that have been in the works came to close this week.  Today I successfully finished a motorcycle riders course and I got my motorcycle license again.   First time in 34 years.  :o      It was a lot of fun riding all weekend, even if it was on a closed course.   And, it's a good thing I passed the course, because last night we stopped and bought the new toy.   8) 8) 8) 8) 8)


We go tomorrow afternoon to pick it up and ride it home.    :) :) :)    I think I'll take the scenic route.   ;D ;D

Looks like you're on your way to the Pig Roast.  :D

Very nice and be safe!

Will it pull that LT 40?  ;D

Congrats from one biker to another.  You're never to old(err young?) to ride.  Enjoy the wheels and freedom.  Just watch out for the idiots on 4 wheels.  Some can be real jerks.  But, most are very respectful.  If I have someone crowding me or following too close, I simply slow down a bit, pull over and wave them by.  No need in making them mad.  Plus, I'm never in a hurry to get anywhere.  Roger

You are most definitely having a mid life crisis and you will need counseling. :D The new toy will really help your recovery, have fun.

Do you need a M class license for a 3 wheeled vehicle?

Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

If that's what a mid-life crisis is can I have one too?  :)  Happy birthday and congrats on the new ride!

Dr Buck,

The good news is if you're having a mid-life crisis at 60, that means you'll live to be 120!

Happy belated birthday and enjoy the new ride. (But don't forget to be safe!)

Saweeeet!! Congrats on the birthday and new ride.  smiley_mc_helmet

I'm gonna have to stop reading posts like this. I sold both of my bikes in the past 2 years 'cause I thought I was over riding. But waaaay down deep, I can feel that itch starting up again. Hmmmmm, mill or bike, mill or bike, hmmmm........

Happy Birthday!   Nice ride.  How many times can one have a midlife crisis and justify new toys?

From what I've researched the recalls were all on the 1st and some 2nd year models.   BRP is now in the 5th year of production.
