I just have a picture of a bike that I call mine, much cheaper way to go.
Then when you fly in to all the events you just say you couldn't ride but you have a pic.
Big savings I tell ya!! |

I'm a repair consultant for an auto company that starts with "H." Pay is good for what I do.
I figure by 75 or 80 I'll be able to retire. |

after the navy in 79 went from job to job to job. became a carpenter in 83 with the union in miami and tampa until a couple years ago. starte going from job to job to job trying to find my niche until the latest one which i tried to do 16 yrs ago and couldn't get my foothold on to and now i'm doing piping design in autocadd. big thing is, was i was able to teach my wife how to handle money better. either that or i was going to leave. we don't go over board but we try to get what we want and still setting some aside for the future. most of the bills are from medical lately, but thank god for good health care to some extent and the fact that my wife's major bill was written off cause she's been at the hospital for over 10 yr's. btw i have had alot of overtime in the past and have spent alot of time away from home also so i've paid in one way and another for what i have. |

Hey AmXB, your job is as important as any of ours, they stuff you build keeps our Guys and Gals safe, so that we have our freedom to ride when/where we want. (not trying to start any politico debate)
THANKS! |

I'm an RN for an HMO here in the Denver area. (my husband is a mechanical/piping designer). Don't have credit card debt and didn't believe in having any car loans, not until our old used cars started costing too much to fix, then bought an H3 \(aghhhhh). Do have a nice home on some property.
Some stuff we have on our bikes my hubby makes from home to help keep the costs down (ie sliders, breather vent re-routing, etc)
I have to give credit to the Good Lord for allowing us to have all this.

Like Vegasbueller, I'm a mechanic for the same airline. 50+ hours a week there, on my days off, a second job. Married with 6 boys. Wife works full time. Took me a month saving pocket change to buy mirrors and blinkers for my 9R! Do all the wrenching myself on my toy. No shop visits for me, cant afford that. |

Website Designer and Art Director for major computer manufacturing company. My wife is just starting her career teaching at community college. We do pretty good, but live in south Orange County, CA so it doesn't go far. We're now trying to buy our first condo for $550k! I think my '04 XB12s is going to have to satisfy my bike requirement for a while! |

36 year old- married 15 years- 1 son, 10 years old- general manager of a multi-line car dealership (all american makes)...i work 6 days a week averaging 10 hours per day. thank God we are closed on Sundays. (I was a restaurant manager before this, so the hours to me are better, even though they do suck). My wife who had been a stay at home mom, now works in our office here.
i am healthy-my wife is healthy-and my son is healthy-we have a place to live and we have food to eat-we may not be rich, but we are certainly blessed and thankful for what we have. |

Lost, save, invest, buy used, buy house, don't rent, don't drink booze, (so you can ride anytime you want and save money), and if you marry for love make sure she makes more money than you. Keep pictures of the bikes you want handy so you'll have your eyes on the prize. Butch |
