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

I like eating gourmet meals and chase skirts but I always have regrets afterward like thinking, "Damn, that could have been the Ohlins revalve kit for the forks." Or thinking to myself, "Damn, bitch, stop drinking that fancy booze, that's my Galfer brake pads right there!"

Or if I were to buy some new clothes and wristwatches, and it's like"Damn, that could be brake rotors and master cylinders upgrades for the bikes."

Whoever got me suckered into motorcycling should be shot because this shit dominates my mind, my time and my budget.

Your thoughts should be....

*Just think how many motorcycles I could have bought for what I paid for that new red BMW.*

I think fine drinks and women are the least of your concerns.

Right.

I like fine dining as much as the next guy but the last time I spent almost a grand on dinner it was chasing clients, not tail.

I don't feel guilty at all. I have way more money into my music (instruments/albums) then I do my bikes.

AMEN but probably for a different reason.

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.
