I'd go crazy ( and fat ) sitting around the house ( that's how I came to drive in the first place ) so I'll stay until I think I'm not sharp enough to be safe.

My dad drives some school bus, and his hourly rate is NO WHERE near that.

And school routes suck - most are about an 60-90 minutes or so, 2 times a day. So your day is shot and you get paid for all of 2-3 hours.

Driving for school sports functions or Packer games are the best, because then you get paid for the whole time you are gone.

Hell no they ain't old school... The days of riding old school bikes further than local bar hopping are long gone for me.
My buddy just bought a new Victory and I must say, "it's sweet". Us older guys ride the new bikes, I'll step aside and little the young bucks take over those bikes. I'll take reliability and comfort.. I've paid my dues.

Just giving you a hard time because the era of bikes does not match your screen name.

Not a fan of Victory touring bikes, simply because of their looks. I do however like their 8-ball line of bikes.
