   Generally I bought motorcycles first thing in the spring and my   
   birthday is in mid June so that was probably the case.   
      
   But, technically, I was still underage when I signed the papers   
   and that remains the case for the life of the loan..   
      
   He was pretty good about things. He always said that if I couldn't   
   make a payment for some reason to call him and he'd keep it from   
   causing me any problem. That happened twice I think .. Once when   
   a was payment due I and blew the tranny in my car sort of thing..
