Who can afford guns?
i like how you turned the warrior around so as not to insult the honda...
all different...and my main fun, guns are new and secondary
For me it's Drums & Canoes....
1965 Ludwig Downbeat w/Matching Downbeat Snare.
...
Every time I see Red Sparkle Ludwig's, two names come to mind:
Sandy Nelson and Don Brewer - both huge influences on my style!
PS: Luv the "Bowling Ball Blue" set, nice!

Well, it's not just one. That's the problem... we have a big field of interests...
Like our (also in another thread mentioned) 2010 Fusion. We bought it brand new and put 1.6" B&G lowering springs and 16" x 7" DUB Drone chrome wheels on.
I also spent some money in to my road bike which I want to use for Triathlon. I planned on starting Triathlon this year but had to rest because of injury.
It has some good parts on, like Shimano, Profile Design and Gipiemme wheels.
My wife like to draw. So we also spent lots of money on drawing supplies. Here's an example of her work:
Also we both like Basketball and we like to travel.
But the most expensive non-firearm related indulgence are our 3 kids
We like to spend money on our hobbies. But it's the total sum what slows us down. Otherwise I already would have started with restoring a 1973 Camaro Z28 as well as a 1968 Camaro SS. And my wife would sit in college to take more art classes...

This was mine until the kids came along and now my biggest expense beside mortgage is daycare & preschool--or as I like to call it "my second mortgage"

Whiskey. Not just any but very good whiskey.Glen Garioch, 1958
Glenfiddich 40 Year and my old standby's Johnny Walker blue and Crown Royal XR. This may not appeal to everyone but there is nothing like
a glass of Glenfiddich after a long cold day or any other day for that matter.

Ah, "Let there be Drums" & T.N.U.C. came to my mind.
Just a quick note, Don Brewer, who everybody around here still calls, Donny,
is from the very small town I've been living in for the last 25 years.
On top of that a close friend owns a local drum shop
where "Donny" bought his 1971 Red Silk (Mach Lugs) Ludwig's.
My friend's Dad owned the shop at the time
and was so impressed with that Kit that he
ordered one for himself, which my friend still has.
Below you will see my friend's Dad, Bill Schaffer, behind his Red Silk's.
One last photo before I end this "hi-jackin'"
Here's Donny in the Jazz Masters, the nucleus of Terry Knight & The Pack,
which was the precursor, of sorts, for Grand Funk R.R.
Riviera Terrace was a happening local Flint club a little before my time,
but all of us Rocker's that came after sure heard a lot about it.
Me probably more than most because I lived behind it's old location for about 7 years (1976-83.)

ART. We have accumulated a very nice collection over the last 20 years. Guns, alarm, video and my dogs serve as protection for said collection.

Been a gun and hunting nut since I was eight or nine. Still love the Classic Smith & Wessons and Colts as well as some of the newer pistols and rifles, but have lost interest in hunting of late.
Always been a motor head to varying degrees. Both bikes and cars.
From simply enjoying them, to trying to restore two at a time. Had muscle cars as a kid and still love them. Have had seven Corvettes over the past forty years too.
Bikes have varied from Harleys to BMW's with a few Ducatis and Hondas inbetween.
Currently have Three bikes, a pair of BMW's and a lone Ducati Monster.
I guess I'd have to throw TRAVEL in as well. I enjoy seeing the US and have done a few trips over to South Africa and the UK.
To a lesser extent add cameras, good cigars and watches to the list as well.

A wife who's favorite pastime is SHOPPING.
I've collected old toys for the last 30 years

Gravely 4 wheel tractors. 2 running now for yard work. 3 more in the barn waiting to be fixed or cannibalized.

Two extra large v-8s, burns a lot of gas and makes a lot of noise. Goes fast, love being out on the water:

That is awesome. I always try to convince my wife for our need of a Wellcraft 38 Scarab... but didn't work out so far
Tell me everything about your boat please and how much fun it is

VM, your post is quite spooky. At least three of the models in your pictures I used to own. I still have some early 1970's toys in a box in the garage.

Of course, this is waiting for me to hit the Powerball:
A Sockeye 45 by Sam Devlin, Devlin Designing Boat Builders. Can anyone say, "Deep water capable?"

Wish i had back every cent spent on this car (bought it in the summer of '87). I could buy every Smith on the wish list, and all the ammo i'll ever need to enjoy them...and a new truck
BTW..S&Ws are the reason this car doesn't have a F2 Procharger. That would bump it to 1700HP....maybe that's a good thing..lol

My most selfish indulgence... 120 acres of pretty much timber and scattered meadow and all the toys that I've "had" to buy to manage it.
