Falcon won’t respond to anyone that uses a number in lieu of letters within their name. It’s symbolic of a lower intellect.

Not true. In fact, I think it's clever in the right context! 😎

The OP committed a grammatical eror by using past-perfect tense ("seen,") when he should have used the past tense, "saw." 


Past-perfect can be described as "to have done something." For example, "Oh yeah, I have seen that movie!" Or "The Chinese spy balloon was seen by several onlookers." This tense solidifies, in a general nature, something which has occurred.

Past tense is often more accurate: "I saw the movie on Wednesday." Or, "We all saw the Chinese spy balloon fall after it got roasted by that F-22."

If I was his parents, I would let him piss away 10% on whatever shit he wanted. The other 9 g's goes straight into SPY and stays there until he he gains some wisdom. Which for most men is about 45 or 50.

I felt good when I bought my 1980 CR125R for $1,000 that I earned by WORKING…Laughing

I’d started working at 12…bought the bike at 17…went and raced it a week later…1st, Thank You! The fact that -I- bought…and had to do it in the Down Low…made it all that much sweeter! (Parents DID NOT want me racing…after that 1st race, my grand-dad told them they were “out of their damn minds”…). A coupl’a years and some good racing later…got my 1st TeamGreen ride. 

Good Times !!!

Most of us can only imagine what it is to live his life.

Just imagine what his Family thought of him before he did this.

You ain't seen nothing yet at 82?!

 He sent it like Larocco's leap

Oh, but I did see it. So therefore I Saw it.

I responded as I seen it in past tense not in the "now". 

I know you left this gate open so I will correct you good SIR 

"The OP committed a grammatical eror by using past-perfect tense ("seen,") when he should have used the past tense, "saw.". 

 

I saw/Seen/Saw/Seen what you did there, so I therefore will not correct your grammatical error. But Cheers (Click glasses) on your effort

Let the bodies hit the floor , right on old man. That should be the norm.  At 56 I,m still 100% punk rock etc. it bothers a lot of people. Like your dating a 24 yr old what that about ? Your supposed to get everything out of life and then some.

Same here.  Started working @ 12 years old too.  I wanted my friends broken down YZ-80...mom and dad said, you gotta work for it.   I worked around the neighborhood to buy that bike...and then the parts to repair it and get it running.      I made BANK as a kid, all the neighbors loved me...I was a hard worker.    Taking care of horses...including mucking corrals,  planting stuff, you name it...I did it.   Bought all my bikes, equipment, gear, race fees...    Dad also taught me how to work on my own stuff. 

One of the best things mom and dad ever did for me... instilling the value of working and earning for yourself.

It may sound like a "get off my lawn" old man to say...but it is true.  Kids are soft today.   Way too soft.   That does not bode well for this country and we are seeing it play out.

Saved for about two summers when I was 11-12-years-old by mowing neighbors lawns at $12-$20 per mow to get my 1982 Kawasaki KX 80 for $800. That bike was a big leap in power(20 hp) and suspension(8.6 travel) in the 80 class, even though it had that fugly-ass rear fender number plate. I nearly looped it on the asphalt first time through the gears. Rode the shit out of it for about three years though since I could ride from my driveway in Michigan. I nearly wore out the Dirt Bike magazine with the test of the bike that summer leading up to the purchase. To this day the most excited I've ever been for a bike.

Your first love is the one you always remember.   Wink      That used YZ-80 (77) lasted a couple years before I bought an 81 YZ-80, by then was into racing.  ...next was an 83 YZ-80.. but I had a massive growth spurt and in the same year moved up to an 83 YZ-125.

I love all the memories involved with these bikes...

I remember the KX-80s were killers back then.

Ya, Thats not Hunting when you have an Animal stuck for you to slay at will.

Also i don't hunt with Armament.

  like to think me going out in the forest with a Bow/arrow is more equal to hunting the animal I am after.

When I was younger I used to hide in the Limbs above with a blade to capture my game. That never worked out so I bought a Long Bow.LOL
