Your biggest non-firearm related indulgence

[LVSteve]

It is a poorly kept secret that most of us on here and other firearms forums have spent a lot of money on our gun hobby. After guns, what is the biggest indulgence you have thrown money into. I'm not talking the house you live in, but something that you probably could have got through life not owning.

Here is a picture of mine.

The only thing I spend money on that cuts into my ammo and gun budget is cigars and wine.

 

[Faulkner]

My two motorcycles; Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic and a Suzuki DL650 VStrom. I've had a lot of fun with my bikes.

 

[gizamo]

My cast iron cookware and fire iron sets. Most of my stuff is original, from the 1700's to the early 19th century.

homeless kinfolks knives and hatchets with factory leather.

This was my grandfathers, been a lot of fun and through a lot of stages.

I've got enough consumer electronics to start my own Best Buy.

I don't consider my motorcycle as something I could live without.

Who can afford guns?

Cigars. Lots of cigars. And steaks.

Currently this would be it.
A titanium Lynskey R230 frame, ceramic bearing hubs by Cris King, DT Swiss wheels and Shimano Ultegra triple front with Ultegra shifter/brakes. I wanted a ladies endurance gel/Ti saddle from Terry. One of my favorite parts is the handlebar.

 

[LedFowl]

I kind of like watches. They don't have to be expensive, but I need to have a lot of 'em.

Yea, but reel to reels and 8 tracks are so out today...the quad-phonic stuff is still worth a buck or maybe even two.

I can't pass up a good deal on a bone or stag handled, antique pocket knife. Other than that, my wife enjoys traveling, and she's a good one, so I try to endulge her in that.

 

[DeathGrip]

My German wife.
Her Dad passed last year and her Mom is still in Germany.Airfare is going up with every trip.
Oh Well,What you gonna do? Tell her she can't go? Did I mention she's German? I ain't about to tell her that.

Haha

I wish it was just a collection of old stuff... It's so much worse than that. I've purchased so many new WiFi gadgets in the last year that the fillings in my teeth are playing streaming content.

 

[RSBH44]

My other expensive hobby is high end Recurve and longbows. I've been shooting them for about 20 yrs. and can't resist a beautiful piece of hand crafted wood.

 

[Marshwheeling]

My biggest indulgence is motorbikes: I think there are five BMWs out there, only one Guzzi and one Triumph left, a bunch of East European 2-strokes, a bigger bunch of Japanese dual sport and dirt bikes, and a KTM. "One is too many, a dozen is not enough". There are some three-speed bikes and a Surly Pugsley, and I spend a fair amount on decent cigars. I have yet to hit a dozen firearms or bicycles, but probably will. Other than that, I have no vices. Really.

My '37 Plymouth, my grandkids, and playing around with my camera.

[imashooter2]

I golf once a week between March and September. Between greens fees and travel costs, it's about 2 grand a year.

I'm a pretty low buck guy otherwise.

 

[DeathGrip]

There is some nice stuff on this thread but the Pitts is insane.Love it!!!!!
That must be a dream come true for you John.

 

[williamlayton]

GOLF---can't be anything more addictive and I have more clubs than any man can have guns.
Like guns--I don't trade or sell my clubs, just get more.
Blessings
