ok so everyone loves hypothetical questions-

if you had X amount of money, you had to buy motorcycle, or motorcycle acessories. (you cant add your own money, you only get to spend the amount posted so you cant take $100 and buy a $150 item)

if you had $100 what would you buy?

if you had $500 what would you buy?

$1000

$5000?

$25,000

$100,000?

I'll go first-

$100- a mesh riding jacket (on clearance from newenough.com)
$500- a new helmet and some riding pants
$1000- both above and insurance and gas for a year
$5000- all new gear- helmet, leathers, jacket(s), pants, rain protection, some hard luggage, a new seat, gloves, boots, and any money left would be put toward gas/oil/maintance costs.
$25,000- probable a ducatti or triumph sport bike and matching leathers/ some other upgrade goodies like seats and lights, and maybe a dirt bike as well. +insurance and maintanance
$100,000- id buy all the gear listed above to match my new bikes-
a Gixxer 600 (twisty bike)
a Ducati monster 900 (around town bike)
a ducati 999R (track bike)
a kawi mean streak (cruiser bike)
probably a haybusa just to say i have one. (with lots of aftermarket bling)
a top-o-the-line vespa for the lady friend to ride (awww... how sweet)
and a triumph scrambler (just look damn cool)
and some type of dual sport to take off road (gotta get some dirt action in)
the rest goes to insure all the new toys.
