Busnuts under 40?

Got the bug about 3 years ago......I`m 42. Picked up my MC9 last year (I was 41) still stripping the inside.

hey, i'm only 28!!!!
Until i look in the mirror, or try lifting one of the bus tires, or try reaching in to turn a nut tighter or try for a second go at it in the same evening.
Then, i realize i ain't as young as i thought i was. Damn mirrors anyway. 60's not that old, is it?

Glad to see there are so many younger busnuts, though.

They say 60 is the new 40.

Not under 40 anymore, but my bus is --it is 37. It was 27 and I was 37 when I got it.

Got my first bus when I was 24 and it was 26.

My 3 yr old grandson wants to ride in Pappy's bus, but his mother is afraid he will catch something if he does---the busnut bug!

Nice to see other young guys on here as well; I feel good knowing that young != bad taste.

Seriously, what would you rather have:

- purple Civic with 8" fart pipe and double wing / F350 with crappy lift kit, chrome rims that never go offroad, and sags towing a 25' wooden travel trailer

- or a shiny Prevost with a screaming Detroit, rev matching and you roll through the gears down a scenic road. Hell, even purging my air brake valve beside a boomy Civic at a stoplight gives me a smile!

AGREED!!! I happen to think that I have fabulous taste, but I am so biased....
Just wait until you see my shiny Prevost with a screaming Detroit and my adorable little 1980 diesel rabbit trailing behind it...

I am 35. Owned my first bus at age 24. I now have 2 Eagles.

Started driving entertainer coaches professionally at 19. Last time I checked I had logged 1,350,000 miles.
What a ride so far!!!!!

I wouldn't take any amount of money for the enjoyment I have gotten out of it.
I hope to do it 40 more years.............
