I'm 24, software developer. It's nice to see so many other computer-related professionals living dangerously. =P

32, popcorn star.

As for wheelies, I've tried 'em a few times, but I'm really scared of dumping my new bike. Hell yeah on dirtbikes, but I'm just so scared shitless of destroying my new baby.

Luck+willingness to be paid about 1/3'rd of what i should be.

Celebrate my 4 year geekiversary on 11/11

If i can manage to stand this place for one more year, then i can tack on a solid 5 years experience onto my resume. Makes it tasty

22 years old, I'm finishing up my degree in Computer Engineering, and I work as an Assoc. Engineer for Progress Energy (the power company around here).

I don't wheelie... I have, but I don't really care to.

Strangely enough... the bike I wheelied was the 79 KZ650... lol. It kinda suprised me, I wasn't really *trying* to wheelie, but it did it. I didn't think a 60hp 560 lb bike would wheelie without major clutch abuse, but I was wrong.

I'm 43 and an administrative assistant. I started riding a year ago.

If you can afford both, great. If not, get your education out of the way first!

I'm 34, single, no kids, and I burn up most of my time managing a big ol' Service Desk in IT at a hospital consisting of 8,000 nurses and doctors who doesn't know what the "Any key" is.

Wheelies, hell yeah...on my dirtbike when I was 12. Hell no on my 600lbs+ cruiser on asphalt.

If we didn't live dangerously outside the office, I think most of us would have just killed ourselves by now

Nah. We computer geeks don't kill ourselves, we go on rampages and kill our co-workers.
