Please know that the following comment is not directed at how much you spent. I couldnt care less how much you spent.
To claim a $2500 bike is low end just because bikes exist which cost $15000 is like claiming a $60000 Lexus is low end because cars exist which cost $750000.
Your reasoning is terrible. Of course a 60k lexus isnt low end. And of course a $2500 bike isnt low end.
You should think up a better comparison if you feel the need to justify your purchase. Your current example only insults those who spent $2000 and less for their bike since you call them all low end.
As for how you afforded the bike, again i couldnt care less. But for you to claim it isnt anyone's business is total bs. You told the board how you were going to pay for it. You opened the discussion up. If it isnt anyone's business, then don't advertise how you paid for it.
