I think thats a real good idea. If you have the lust, you can get a pretty decent bike for five grand. Might have a few dings on it, but you'll have a toy to take to the ice cream shack. I'd like to have a bike, just for little rides. And it would have to rumble, because I ain't no fag. But I can't justify having a bike that could fetch that amount of cash.
I have a personal policy of not owning things worth a fuck-ton of cash, and not just because I'm being frugal. A bike is supposed to be a frivolous malappropriation of funds.
You ever see how they say an engagement ring should be worth three months salary? I don't think a bike for a normal guy should exceed about 10%-15% of a yearly salary. So you could maybe justify that to me, if you made 150k a year. And you probably do pretty good, according to what you've alluded towards in your conversations.
But I think, even in that case, my bike would be a little leaner, a little rattier. Its just a bike.
