Close. I'll be 40 at the end of the year. Is it like a mid-life crisis for people who never really grew up? I want a motorcycle, but I still wanna play in the dirt.

Boys never grow up, their toys just get more expensive.

May be a mid life crisis, but a KLX is much cheaper than a new Corvette or girlfriend w/ divorce.

40? Bah! As long as you feel good, act responsibly, do your job, then get out and do wtf you want. Look, in the end, it's YOUR life. Don't wanna hear "wish I coulda" when you're in the Burpee Country Club. Too late, dude.

I smell what you're steppin' in, sir. I've spent the past decade plus building my career, raising kids, etc... The wife is on board and she knows I need it. I'm getting one. Worst case scenario, a used one this summer.

Awesome video EMS! I hope I'm in as good of shape as those guys when I'm their age!

I loved when he said "Take that $300 and spend it on gas. That will make you a lot faster!"
