If the bike needs something, or if I want to add something to it...I will get it... My bike is my hobby and my escape from the crap that sometimes invades our existance...so if I need to fix it up better then so be it...it's money well spent I say

While my views are pretty similar to 57Rebel's; yea, I'm spending less this year until I know things are turning for my business..

Is this the right forum for blatant saleshacking? Am I the only one that feels this would be better posted somewhere else?

I agree with Tom, working on my bike is my escape from dealing with reality and my divorce. It keeps you sane.

If I was depending on a company for a living, rather than working for myself, maybe. People have to be entertained and have to have a place to live, so maybe I wont have to worry about it. If things were to ever slow down than, of course.

My business revenue has declined 70% over the last 7 months and my 401K and investment accounts have taken major hits also. It's all reminded me that nothing belongs to me anyway. It's just on loan.

Therefore, I keep adding to my bike and riding as if today was the last. We're promised nothing.....not even tomorrow.....so why not live, and ride, like it!

I not advocating shucking our basic responsibilities. However, what's left over after the families needs are met.............

Ride long.....ride safe.....ride proud!

I'm spending less although I did buy more chrome last month. I'm running out of chrome parts to buy and I don't need anymore HD clothes so unless I buy another bike, I'm not spending as much.
