Oh the retro-grouch defense. Perhaps we should find someone from the generation before yours who would say the same about the products and music you like.

Appreciating and purchasing high quality goods =/= filling a hole is one's life. It may, but it's no certainty. If you think otherwise, it says more about you than anything else.
...and I find it funny that your post, monastic from the start, ends with a comment that a true investment must include monetary returns. Wow.
It's really simple isn't it? If you like to ride you buy a bike that will make your ride the most efficient and comfortable because it's an activity you do often. If you're a poser then you just spent a lot of money on something that will spend more time leaning against your bedroom wall than being ridden. What this means to me? Not much because in the end none of that matters in the great scheme of things so just ride your bike and leave everything else by the wayside.
