<Hyjack><Rant> I read this and was totally floored. There are folks here who can buy whatever they want and do so, there are people here who can also buy whatever they want but struggle to justify and end up with a reasonable compromise. There are people here who struggle financially and would love to have a high end bike but need the money for other priorities and there are people here who are every where inbetween. I did not know we had folks here who needed to spend a lot just to make a statement! Wow - I'll stop here before the war starts</Rant></Hyjack>
