We could all take a lesson from the late George Best.
He made a lot of money in his time, and said

" I spent a lot of money on booze, girls and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

I'll just keep on farming, until the money runs out.

Well, I didn't buy a ticket so I didn't have to dream how I'd spend the $ winnings.  :bow:

You could set up a seriously useful charitable foundation with that sort of money.

I would hire a really industrious Philipino maid who would call me Mr. Jonathan to clean this place up.  There's a piece of commercial property in my residential neighborhood across the street. I'd buy that in a nanosecond and build a really cool shop/stuffatorium.  The guzzi thing? with gangsta money? probably not.  However- I would not go totally d-bag with the new BMW, matching motorrad uiniform, und fancy boots.

As for bikes- I would try to not be a "collector/hoarder". The ability to play "catch and release" would be great. Yes, I'd have a scooter because they are cool in tight locales like this. Yes, I'd have a KTM 690 cause it just looks like fun. It would be awesome to be able to try out bikes to find which suited you perfectly.

 Yep . "The old motorbike riders home "would be a good place to start  :laugh: But yes , the micro loan programs would be on top of the list .

^^ This would be one of the first things, along with bettering the lives of my family. For me: one home here, close to my Mom and another somewhere in VA or WV with enough acreage for "test tracks" and an air field. I'd probably test ride every motorcycle I could get my hands on that I hadn't before, maybe buy a few. Same with the four-wheeled side of things.

Ultimately though, with that much money I could finally realize my childhood dream of building my own motorcycles and cars. Not for sale to the general public mind you, just for me and maybe a friend or two.  :wink: Or I could blow it all buying the Laverda name from Piaggio and trying to revive the brand...
