Regrets.

[SachsGS]

Every decision a person makes in life has it's opportunity costs,in other words,when you decide on something you could have decided on something else.A life in the Military could result in an early dirt nap and not an early retirement.

I don't ponder what could have been or what should have been,I try to focus on the future and enjoy the present.You can't change the past but you can change the future at any time.

A friend of mine's father,a man I knew well,took up motorcycle riding at age 65 and had never ridden one before that.He rode his BMW R1200GS to Alaska 5 times (I think).

These CR500 hybrids,how much do they vibrate?

I agree. I used to wind myself up 10 years ago that my friends were better off financially then me because I had spent 10 years drinking,eating & rooting my way around the world.
Some of my freinds had stayed at home building up small empires.
I soon realised whats the point. The road taken is the road taken.

Money can not by my memories.

PS. I nearly joined the armed forces when I was 16. I wanted to blow shit up.

Man I would way rather eat my way around the world. Memories like that are priceless! I say you got the good deal

I read something recently in a book I am reading about Lance Armstrong and his 2005 Tour race, and I thought of this post:

"A man is not old until regrets take the place of his dreams".

I like it. I think I will remember that one and stop regretting anything from my past .

John,as for changing things,that's true to an extent but some things have a time frame and if you miss it,it's gone-there's no going back.I almost joined the military at 18 as I was in the reserves anyway.Had I done so,I would have retired last year with more pension than I'm making now in salary-and I wouldn't be looking at another 20 yrs to work.

Ford, the statistics are scary... retirement = early death

Besides if you love something, wouldn't you want to continue it throughout your life? Sure there is a time limit on stuff like becoming a Pro motocross rider or possibly in your case a porn star ( ) but there are other journeys in life to explore.

When you stop living and learning you're just waiting to die...

[ford832]

All true John.I think I'd like to be a pro mx-er who's a porn star in the off season
I think what gets many retired people is that they have no passions or nothing to occupy their time when they retire.
In my case,I'd be working around the house,working on projects,fishing,hunting,camping,biking etc.I've got enough things I like to do I wouldn't sit around moping.Way back when I used to love mechanics but as time has gone on,I've grown to hate every day of it.On the upside,the garage I work at is about a mile from a good bass lake so every day I can look out the bay door and watch the bass boat trailers go by while I work away in the heat,dirt and grease and beat myself to pieces.Sweeeettttt

Good quote Sachs and definitely some truth in it.The problem is,finding two smoking hot 20 yr old blonde sisters who want a threesome with a 46 yr old likely isn't in the cards-and I probably wouldn't want to see them at the age they are now either.  

Sure you would ford! I just turned 41 on June 23 & I would NOT mind seeing just one 20yr. old hot blonde chick naked in my bed anytime! My ex-wife was 22 & I was 33 when we got married & I certainetly do not know why any straight man would not want to @ least have a twosome with a 20yr. old blonde hottie? At least a single or divorced man like myself! I know I would.........It's legal as long as she does'nt say NO or STOP it's too BIG!!! but you probably have'nt had that problem I would suspect ford!?! lmao!!!

That was'nt intended to be personal Ford...you brought the subject up of 2 smoking hot 20yr. old sisters & a threesome & that would'nt likely be in the cards for a 46yr. old. Speaking for yourself are you ford?lol..And no I would NEVER measure mr willy one eye up against another mans you fool! I do however have a yard stick in my bedroom just in case a hottie would like to take a measurement...I aint scared!?!..........................

I know for a fact I'd no longer manage a couple of 20 yr olds maicoman,not that I wouldn't try if given half a chance of course.
I've got to call BS on the comparison thing though.You can yard stick yourself all you want but unless you have a basis of comparison,the measurement means nothing.
For example: Suppose you measured 6.That's pretty good if everyone else measured four.However,it's not good at all if everyone else measures 8.
In order to know how you rate,you simply have to compare-there's no other way for you to know-which is why I don't know-and you do.    
Isn't it great how some threads deteriorate   

[TMKIWI]

Remind me to never go near a public toilet with you two.

[ford832]

I went to a nude wedding once.I was the best man 

[Kodackamera]

Haha, great thread!

I should be shot, hung and quartered for the mistake I made a couple of months ago.

On a train, heading to a town to go on a night out with my friend. I sit down, finishing my snack in my leather jacket and realise I'm parked next to this girl who could pass for Eva Mendez, but Eva doesn't have black curly hair like this girl.

She's reading the art of war, and we get talking about strategy etc, she's very relaxed and starts flirting about what my "strategy" is, aha, naughty.

We ended up talking about engines! And here was a woman, who could clearly describe to me the differences between two strokes and four strokes, and she preferred two strokes! It was on.

So what did I do? Got off at my stop instead of staying on and even getting her contact details.

Forum, It was a nice short stay here, you may now press the ban button for my heinous crime.


I learn't one valuable thing, there ARE two stroker women, who are hot, AND, see it through next time!

[crash796]

Regrets.... Well for starters quiting my job as a heavy equipment operator making $17hr+ to go to school at Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI). Now I have a lot of debt and make $10hr as a security guard.

I'll take care of that in a second...

Man, if you are single, what were you thinking??

[Kodackamera]

Ahaa, I know it's nuts, hand held up.

Definitely will make the right decision next time. Now all I have to do is seek out another two stroke/rotary girl, next couple of years I'm travelling germany, USA and Japan, gotta be some in those parts.
