I'm 42 and make more than all three of you combined and I'm lucky if I have 2 nickels to rub together. Life can suck depending on your perspective.
As for "is a Blaster worth it", I'd say yea.
It's very light, they make uber goodies for it and you can rebuild it from the rubber up.
Buy a nice fancy new one and eat a tree and find out what new plastic costs.
Also the design is time tested, it works.
Once you max it out it will run with rides that cost 4 times as much.
You ain't gonna tow your jeep out of the mud with it, but you can drive over or around it!!

Just curious..since your 27 and have a well paying job..why not get a larger bike? Part of me is un sure if its worth it to spend the money I have been spending, Ive probly spent alittle over 1000 dollars since the begining of september..that includes maintence and mods...and little things along the way. I could have put some money down and worked on financing a newer bike.. but then again I like the blaster and think it has potential..
Im with you on the fact I also spend money on my toys..Between my blaster..I have a 400whp VW jetta VR6 turbo.. I rather not discuss how much i have invested in to that thing..:-D
chypertext....I understand you feel strongly about something, but that doesn't give you the right to put everyone that thinks differently down, so why dont YOU SHUT THE f*ck UP.... i am not trying to flame you out...but uhh holy hell...you just went off...telling US how to keep people in OUR forum..when YOU have been here for close to a month...when most of us have been here for several months..and some more, and...i said, im not trying to be an ass towards anyone or anything...but...you have been deroggatory to everything else except Vitos...so id say...watch what you say Stilll saying im not tryin to be mean! thanks
hyper, i like how you brag about your pay...you slip it in kinda to make it unnoticed...i could walk around and tell every1 how much i make, watch me!
"unless you make more than 109k+ / year, you dont make more than i do" -- see i could do that...and its true..and i win! lol..
Cypher, I feel your pain. I got you way beat, hell my Ol' lady makes that. The bugger is you spend what you make, whether it's 30K a year or 300. I got two trucks for my business a Durango and 2 saturns for the kids. I also own 2 homes. One is a log home on 36 acres in the foothills of Va. You wanna whine about mortgage pain, try a house and land that you can't get a mortgage on. I had to do a straight out cash loan. Will have her paid off in about 6 more though and 3 after that will have the main homestead. So I am still looking at owning stuff and the payment drawer being empty before 50. All I can ask for. The Va. place has been screamin' for a toy for along time!!!
Just a heads up, when the kids go to college, it's like another motgage, man that crap is pricey!!! Hell the dang auto ins. when they get to driving age is more than rent I have paid. It all gets spent and coming up with a grand here and there is always a challenge. I have some friends that make way more than me and it's the same story, they have bigger houses and bigger payments.
You spend what you make, can't take it with you.

P.S. Get the hell outta Maryland, you will do alot better. Drop down to Va. I've lived all over and I have to say Va. is one of the better places. I will retire up there and they will bury me there. Hope it ain't from the Blaster.....
I am not trying to tell anyone how to "keep" people in "our" forum,
yes u are u told me n dirty blaster to shut up cause u like vitos
