I've avoided most expensive hobbies, but have caught the motorcycle bug.
Bought a 2003 Harley Softail at a very attractive price, and enjoyed a few rides. Now that I've had a chance to get to know the bikes, and compare ours to others, I have bike-envy ... chrome, engine work, etc.
So, considering some upgrades (at dealer cost all around, due to my work), or swapping out for a more custom bike. Custom bike at dealer cost is more cash up front, but should hold more value ... parts and labor on the existing bike, even at dealer cost, probably lose 60 to 75% of "value" immediately.
Then feeling guilty over LBYM, this isn't a necessity, what the hell am I thinking? OTOH, you only live once, this is a rare indiscretion, maybe DW will never find out (just kidding ...), da*n these are fun and beautiful machines, yada yada.
Anyone else dealing with this disease?
