Lol, if no one bought new cars, then they'd be no more cars for people to buy?

How the hell did this thread go so sideways?

Anyway, yes, I have noticed prices cooling quite a bit in my area. Keep in mind, though, I am not shopping for new bikes but always on the lookout for a good project bike.

I apologize because I derailed it a bit too when I got set off by someone who thinks they know what everyone else's financial situations are and thinks that people who have nice stuff are drowning in debt and assorted BS. I need to understand that the people who think they can speak for most of American's when they are really talking about their own situation. I need to calm the F down when I read their BS and go about my business.

But the good part is used bikes are coming down and I buy a lot of cool project bikes so maybe their will be some diamond's in the rough showing up for sale.

You're clearly an expert lol I'm sure you can just teach me all about it.

You took a thread about the evolving motocross economy and found a way to attack someone's identity. You should read more of the Bible.

Well, with spelling, punctuation, and composition skill like these, I'll assume you work in a low income field. No wonder you don't have significant disposable income. Probably buy your groceries on a credit card and pay 18% APR to boot. And before you go off on me as a college-educated Liberal who knows what's best for you, all I have is a HS education and some trade schooling, but I can communicate and got lucky to land in an in-demand industry.

When this boomer dies off he's gonna leave a little $$$ to his heirs, and a very nice, small collection of very cool bikes to his favorite son. Who will know how to ride and maintain them after I am dead.

Shut up boomer. We’re all waiting and saving for the next 15 years so we can buy some decent real estate when you croak. You will not be missed sir, you have given away this country to violent leftist ideologues. You boomers should be ashamed that you let this once decent country get destroyed while you stood by and sipped your apple juice. You are half the man your father was

There you go talking about "most Americans" when you don't have a clue. Just because YOU maybe in dire straights has nothing to do with the real world. Grow up, move out of your parents basement and earn the nicer things in life and quit whining about things you know nothing about. Those statistics are made up by the others just like you that want to believe "most Americans" are struggling, misery loves company. Who are you going to blame when us Boomers die off, then I am sure it will be Gen Xs fault right.

Ah so it's game on, eh punk? You feel lucky? My old man was a coal miner who went to WW2, lived, got an education, and pulled himself out of poverty. He gave me a good start on life. I never wanted for anything. I went in the military at 17, and spent 20 years Air Force and Embassy duty. I've been working since I was 15, so 45 years now, never unemployed, never on the dole. I earned every fucking thing I have. I didn't get shit from the government with all their COVID relief, and trust me, I paid my share of taxes the entire time.

I have 5 kids, 4 left, none came back. All 4 gone are employed, some married, all in solid careers as fire fighters and nurses. The last one will do the same because he is smart, knows life is just a series of decisions and you better make good choices or suffer the consequences. I haven't fucked this country up. I've contributed to our success. What have you done?

There is some validity to that point. I would argue that my father lived in a different era where communication was much, much slower, and the scourge of social media didn't yet exist. Would they have not tolerated it? They weren't equipped to even imagine it. I don't recall ever once having a discussion about politics with my old man.

Regardless, I am a contributor to the success of this democracy, as flawed as it is. What have YOU done?

Oh boy, this thing going south fast. I would argue that the boomers where better than my generation (gen x'er). At least i know my dad is a better man than me and i think i do my part.
I rather keep talking about dirt bikes getting cheaper though. Im in the market and can luckily afford to pay cash!! Where is me a good priced used 350 at? I'm also looking for a decent adventure bike. Im leaning towards an 890 but thinking a 690 might work best for me back east.

Did any of you guys see all those adventure bikes that guys rode in on at the mxdn. They all parked over by the entrance close to the pits!!
