Who here feel guilty when they spend money on things other than motorbikes related?

Nope I don't feel guilty. My collection of hunting gear is rapidly growing.

Okay, I forgot about that part. I don't feel too guilty taking money from bikes to buy guns and vice versa.

Nope not guilty here. If I want something for my bike I just go and buy it. It usually takes me a while to make the actual purchase, I wind up shopping online for a while, comparing prices, reviews and any information I find.

I also have a secret bike account that I drop a little bit in each month, hopefully my next bike wont be used like every other bike I've owned.

ehh not guilty... though that may change with me being near(ish) a track

wait, you people spend money on things not motorbike related?

PhiSig1071 · 01-27-2009, 06:01 PM

Yep, sure do.

I drive a 11-year old Ford Ranger, paid cash, so I could save up money for bikes and bike related ish. (

the truck is worth less than EITHER bike) My money spending weakness is sushi, I can drop $100-$150 in a heartbeat on dinner and then I look back and say "shit, that's a trackday at jennings".

When I bought my bike I had no problem buying gear but before I could buy parts my son was on the way. I had people bug me about my stock exhaust. I would tell them "do you know how much food/clothes or what ever for my son with that money?". My bike stayed stock because I didn't feel I needed any off it. I was happier spending the money on my son.

I plan on buying another bike and I might do that odd thing to that. We will see what happens. But my kids come first.

Yeah, what he said.

Yea, my non motorcycle related vices are hockey and goddamn expensive coffee drinks.

I've tried to cut out my coffee and fast food competely. If i cut out 25 bucks of coffee and food a week... boom 100 extra bucks for my bike payment. Plus it cuts down on unneeded calories.

Hockey however, i dont feel guilty for paying $250 a session becasue it keeps me active.

I'm about to throw about 4 grand out the window. If anything I feel guilty not spending it on the family, or saving it. But who cares, my family gets so spend more time with me. And that's more important than money, right? haha Most importantly, I get a new toy.
