Midlife crisis done differently

I've just bought a cruiser BMX which according to a friend is a mid life crisis. Novel (rather than buying a porsche say), but a mid life crisis none the less.

I blame my son for getting me sucked in to it, though I can probably say goodbye to my collarbones. I don't bounce like I used to.

Anyone else got one? I certainly wont be racing though. Not this year anyway.
 
it has priority after the road bike . i hope to have it done this year ready to race next year . was planning on racing this year but lack of funds

Everyone has a friend like that :LOL:

I couldn't buy a bike with history like that Perry, people might expect me to live up to it's heritage.

I've gone new school - a Formula Soultion

I would have got a Flight but having the same bike as my son would be just wrong :LOL:
 
I wish my 'midlife crisis had been like that and not a Thai girl :oops: I may still be married (or not) :? :LOL:
 
I'm in denial that I'm anywhere near mid life yet, getting closer though!

Anyway rather than buy a lighter new frame for my bombproof modern I bought a glorified big bmx come MTB, well its more of an MTB but shorter and heavier frame than current, should be fun. :cool: report when it gets here, should be here but paypal/ebay have messed things up :evil:

oh and I also bought a kids 80's BMX out of the classifieds here! :roll: :LOL:

Add the retro bikes and daft old wrecks of retro cars and yes not very healthy! :oops:
