Back in the day I worked for Texas Instruments on the design of the F-111 TFR upgrade, the Mark-XV IFF System, and some of the early military GPS systems - so I can kinda relate to where you've been.
What do you do for a living?

Hmmmm, a lot of engineers and IT professionals on the board. But no one in Finance? I am a Finance Manager in the Sales and Marketing organization of a software company. I do monthly PnL reviews, forecasts, budgets, and I build fiscal models with Excel. Yup... I am a nerd...

I did 3rd for a little while but never got used to it. Kept falling asleep. 2nd (4-midnight) was great with the kids until they hit school age and for college.

Reason is engineers and IT people are very sensible people. Makes sense that they'd buy such a sensible bike.
Most finance people buy motorcycles as status symbols. The NC700x is almost the opposite of that.

Do you by chance work in the Pink Palace in Atlanta? I will be there next week for 3 days of meetings then stick around for 2 days at the show.

LOL. Bald? not so much. White? mostly. I would say one thing about these 2 type of riders though - BMW riders in my group ride the hell out of their bikes. They ride the bikes all over the world. The head of the finance team rode his GS up and down the WABDR + ORBDR and "vacations" with his family on motorcycles in Baja. The other GS riders rode up to Prudhoe Bay and are members of the iron butt. The guys with H-D? I have only HEARD of them talking about their bikes but I've never SEEN their bikes.

I am a National Digital Print Estimator with Staples, Inc.
I figure out how much digital copy jobs cost that the Staples stores in the New England area and beyond send in for pricing.

I guess my name gives it away. 19 years of high speed - low drag and counting. What a rush!! Very thankful to have an exciting job that is different everyday and to work for one of the top law enforcement agencies in the world. Not bragging, just very thankful for where I work and that I get to help people everyday.
yes you are indeed lucky.
I wanted to be in the police force myself when young but with my hearing is not as good as a normal person.
I wouldn't get in.had a few friends who were in the police so you can amagine how I felt at the time.
never mind that was years ago and I would've retired at 55 with a nice pension.
