I tell my wife, it could be sports cars, whiskey, or women, but it's bikes. Okay, maybe not women lol.
haha, I already SPENT that ticket with my wife on my other hobby, which is Fishing, I ran outta space on my garage to put the fishing rods and my fishing reels, this fishing hobby can be as expensive as you wanted to so, for now I kinda know how this works, as Dave said on the second post, I will spend a season or two with the same bike and during that time I will have a better idea what kind of cycling I want to do and chose a proper bike
on my fishing hobby Im a Fishing rod custom builder and repair fishing reels for the local charter captains, so Im kinda handy with the tools but at the same time it make me dont keep anything stock for much time, I like to change, upgrade and customize .
