    Shit I seriously thought Dean was a zoomer going by the fact he has not yet sat his full bike license.
    Must have been too busy being super intelligent to get it. Its ok to suck at something Dean.

    Funny story time, there's some quintessential boomer comments that I just love.
    Was washing my car the other day and thought to myself, damn where's a boomer to tell me "ooohhh you can wash mine next hehehehe" afterwards. Sadly there were none around at that moment, fast forward a few hours and I'm at the physio having a yarn with the boomer manager, whilst discussing how nice the weather was and what I had been up to that day I said "went out and washed my car cause it was so nice."
    On que she goes "oooohhh you can wash mine too". Classic, day made.

    I was doing an install at a car dealership this week, instead of grabbing a coffee I rock in at 8am with my zero sugar Monster in my fist, bracing myself for what I knew was about to come 4 steps into the door the boomer salesmen goes "ohhh don't drink that shit, that shit will kill ya!"
    Day made, don't ever change boomers as this millennial loves ya.

    Bullshit, you're just the consumers driving the evolution of technology for greater profit.

    The closest thing to revolution achieved by millenials is putting soy milk in coffee. Gullible generation.

    If you have any trouble trying to understand anything else let me now and I will try dumb it down for you (probably let my 7 year old write it for you).
    Is there not a "Why I am better than you thread"?. Maybe you should start one.

    To be fair it seems you can't tell a GN250 from a GN125 so neither should you

    Aaaand, how many advances have you offered human race? Personally.

    That's right, fuck all. You waste oxygen at roughly the same rate as 99.999% of the planet. If the metric for success is as you yourself claim, then you need to shut your fucking hole!

    You seem to be confused, not to mention astoundingly immature. Unless, of course, you're aged about seventeen.

    Bill Gates is a boomer. Steve Jobs too was a boomer. Linus Torvalds is generation X.

    Given that millennials can be forty now, they may well be giving us new toys but what you describe as "millennial technology" would seem to be to the credit of the boomers you love to malign.

    And no, I'm not a boomer.

    But you're right, some of the LAMS options are really good
    Went for a ride on a KTM 390 Duke in the weekend. Hadn't ridden a bike on over a year and that was the first time on the road in about 5 years I think.

    All I can say is, yes there are some excellent LAMS options out there, that bike was fucking exceptional, honestly felt like it wanted to lift a wheel out of the twisties. Great brakes and it was really nice through the twisties. If all you wanted was to carve corners that's the bike for you.

    Now I'm on tradme looking at Vitpilens and KTM 690s, pretty sure wife would notice it in the garage though

    Oh boy did he say that to the wrong person.
    Maybe he was secretly from KB - he had all the hallmarks (boomer, dull & slightly on the spectrum).
    Maybe it was TDL.

    He proceeds with the: “Back in my day” BS.

    I proceeded to educate him that all of life’s luxuries that he experiences/uses NEVER existed in his era. They were too busy smoking pot if you ask me. His nice car - millennial technology, I Phone - millennial technology and so on.

    He didn’t seem to like an outspoken intelligent young man giving it back to him.
    So he gets his Karen of a wife who looks like she came out of an 70’s Pall Mall advertisement with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

    Just as dull as he was, resorting to personal & racially motivated insults because she can’t contribute anything intelligent to the conversation.

    The look on their faces when I told them I have more intelligence and class than their entire South Island gene pool.

    Naturally I saw myself out the door.

    I need another drink.

    Pissed myself at this shit-stirring load of fantasy, probably actually posted by a boomer, no millenial is that cunning.

    Just like the Boomers wouldn’t be stupid enough to be responsible for causing Global Warming? Rooting the ecosystem through capitalist industrial greed? Leaving us Millennials to come up with innovative and efficient products/means to reduce our carbon footprint in efforts to minimise and or reverse the damage caused by Boomers?

    Hopefully you'll not want fix global warning by using all those boomer-invented items that are out there? C'mon, that would be hypocritical eh...
