It is funny you bring this up. I do believe that when you read and search forums in general what ever forum it is it ends up costing you more money if you did not read forums at all. You see so many pics of different bikes or ideas that you WANT to do to yours. I have buddies that ride that don't read the forum. I tell them something I read on here and they are like where did you get that or hear about that from.
I have experianced it first hand from reading a quad forum when I had my quad and a fishing forum when I had a fishing boat. This forumhas alot of ideas.I find myself really weighing between what I want and what I realy need.
On the Flip side. I have saved a lot of money from this forum also. Finding different places to buy or buying from someone on here. Trying to find the best deal is half the fun.
