It's funny when people are talking about bikes and not buying the high end components but when it comes to buying TV's, SUV's, ATV's, boats, etc. you don't think twice about buying the best money can buy. If that's how you think than why not just buy a $10,000 car instead of that $30,000 SUV? Granted there are a few that need a SUV for pulling that expensive boat or 4 runners but realistically most could get by with a low end car. I don't smoke, drink, max out my credit cards, have any car payments so I can afford that XTR bike. At least with biking you get more bang for your buck with the exercise you get. I also shop like shane45.
