Motorcycle. If vehicles are excluded period, I'd also have to say my wifes Engagement ring, followed by the wedding in general.

Actually, a close second would be "vacations" like cruises. We also by wine by the case and will spend a couple K during a week when we stock up.

In that order.

Ah, no car, basically just the engagement ring then ~$1500. I'm not a big spender!
And that's why it's called the Skoorb effect. :)

I bet he found that engagement ring in Hot Deals too, lol. Or FSFT!

Since a 486 will cost you about $0.10, I'm guessing you're not a big spender.

back in the day dood, do you remember how much they used to cost?

Sweet. Did you get one of the Polars with the nightvision mode? Kinda useless, but handy if you're doing a night ride and need to know what time it is. :p
