Am I having a midlife crisis??? And do I care?

[tantrumbean]

I always wanted a bmx as a kid - never got one cause my mum didn't deem them to be "sensible" bikes (not so sure how sensible that decision was, as I wore through the rear mudguard on my "sensible bike" doing wheelies, but hey...).

Anyway, over the past couple of years I have been jealously eyeing up bmx bikes and the rather cool kids doing stunts on them and kept thinking I still really want one, but was a bit concerned that at 6 foot, I wouldn't fit on one anyway.

Happened to mention this on another cycling forum, and out of the woodwork pops a guy who's 6'3" and selling his bmx. It was one of those "meant-to-be" situations, so me and my partner decided to go for it and treat ourselves to a shared new toy! It's a really good spec and absolutely gorgeous, but as it's four years old with a couple of scratches, we are getting a really good bargain!

It's totally overspecced for a beginner, I can't even bunnyhop and I've left it way too late to get any good at it, but I'm so excited - can't wait to play and just whizz around on it! We are going to get some funny looks, 35 & 38 year olds on a bmx, but hey...

Picking it up Saturday, so it can join the growing stable! Getting very excited!
