SilvrT Posted January 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2008 I was just watching an interesting show on TV. They were talking about a "Bucket List". That is... what's on your list of things you'd really like to do before you "kick the bucket". Thought it would make for an interesting read here...to see what other's lists are. Here's some of mine that quickly come to mind... Spend at least a year touring Canada & the USA on a motorcycle, with a nice tent trailer in tow and my honey on the back seat. Take a ride in a jet fighter and maybe even get to fly it some. Drive an indy race car. Skydive Have a nicely equipped shop and build a custom car or a hot rod Move to the country and live in a log house on the edge of a nice lake with my own dock and a nice boat. (guess I'd better start buying more lotto tickets for some of these!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJR Rider Posted January 27, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2008 I've done way more in my life so far than I ever thought I would, but there's stil a few things left, so here's mine: Share my love of motorcycling with my grandchildren (working on this one already) Hotlap a 410 race-legal World of Outlaws Sprint Car Finish putting the yellow highlights on my map for roads ridden in Wisconsin Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BluesLover Posted January 27, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2008 Hey Rick- we started a similar thread in the local SCRC chapter (we limited it to 3 entries, so here's mine: Spend a Canadian winter in Australia and New Zealand * Ride my RoadSofa in Europe (with my sweetie on the back) * Play with my (yet to be born) grandchildren * (not that I'm telling the kids to hurry!)Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich99 Posted January 27, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2008 I just saw the movie "Bucket List" and it was a kick. They started out with the sky diving thing and traveled all over the world, only because one of the two guys was filthy rich. About the only thing I haven't done that I want to do is take a curise on the biggest ship I can find (that would be Freedom of the Seas) 160,000 tons, one of their one or two week curise's just to see how much will power I have. I don't know about anybody else, but when they serve several meals 24/7, you could probably eat your way right into the Drs. office on board, lol. SO; to do that, I'd have to do what everybody else would try to do, and that's hit the lotto, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted January 28, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 28, 2008 I'll be just plain happy to do what I'm doing now, except be able to take a little more time off in the good weather. Some day when I gets old enough, so that I can no longer do these things, I'll worry about what I'll do then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hig4s Posted January 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 28, 2008 Thought about this after I saw the commercials for the movie. I've done so many adventurous things, and am still doing more as the opportunity arises. There are still lot of things I would like to do, but none enough to even start a bucket list.

RedRider Posted January 28, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 28, 2008 This is something I have thought about for a while. 1) Walk on the Great Wall 2) See the Great Pyramids 3) Ride from the Artic Circle to the Equator (and possibly the Antartic Circle). Ideally, (1) and (2) with the whole family. I am pretty sure (3) would be by myself - not neccessarily by my choice. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted January 28, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 28, 2008 I pulled it up on the local schedule this weekend to go see it and the reviews posted were not very good. Stated it was contrite and a few other bad things. I have not heard much about it after it came out either. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfman1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share #16 Posted January 28, 2008 It's a great movie! I laughed till I cryed and then at the end, cryed somemore. Well worth going to. Maybe the 20 something crowd wouldn't get a lot out of it, but I would think that the over 45 crowd would for sure. Bucket List 1. Win a lottery to pay off the bills so I can do everything already on my "UNREALISTIC" bucket list! ... lol ... 2. Be able to convince all the 1st Gen owners to Get a 2nd gen Scoot... .......:rotfl::rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruntman0311 Posted January 28, 2008 Share #20 Posted January 28, 2008 I've been lucky to have seen many things and places around the Globe. I thank the Marine Corps and the US State Dept for the great chance to serve my great country from abroad. I couldn't trade the expirance or the Marines and people I have met. Iv'e seen 33 different countries and I'm blessed to be in the best country on the planet! That's why it's time to explore the USA before I kick the bucket. only four words my brothers: "HEAD WEST MY SON" After i ride to the big west I can say my mission is complete!

bongobobny Posted January 29, 2008 Share #21 Posted January 29, 2008 OK here's my selfish 3... Fly a V-22 Osprey Travel Australia on 2 wheels Visit an underwater research center Of course if I only had a few months to live, as is the premise of the movie, I would much rather do as much for others as I possibly could than do things for myself.

dr.nemo Posted January 29, 2008 Share #22 Posted January 29, 2008 Ok.... 1. Ride a fully equiped KLR 650 around the world with a support team following..( ala-movie- "long way round"). 2.To live long enough for all the baby boomers to die off so I could afford a depreciating 69-70 boss 429 mustang 3.All I need is the 2 wishes.......Although having enough money to buy Yamaha and resume building the 1st Gen Venture with all new elctronic goodies would be fun too...

funrider Posted January 29, 2008 Share #23 Posted January 29, 2008 there are a lot of things most of us would love to do before we kick the bucket, most are kind of trivial. the one thing that I would most love to be able to do is to rekindle the fire, heat and love that me and my wife felt when we were going together and were first married. The love is still there, but wouldn't it be great to feel that fire one more time. If I could do that everything else would seem kind of unimportant and trivial. Love always and hot heat for my wife.
