i have two rules:
1) i have to want it. if i don't want it i don't buy it.
2) i have to have the money. I don't buy anything on layaway or with credit.
basically this means the only stuff i don't buy is either too expensive or i just don't want it.
otherwise i put myself into the poorhouse buying **** i don't need for way too much money. it's evident by my bikes and how much parts change per miles ridden.
i ride a lot of miles, just go through too many parts doing it.
