Where does it end?

Yeah, the buying gear thing goes on forever. My current gear totals to around $3000, and I know that it's all gonna need replacing in the next few years...
Then you've got bags, tyres, chain'n'sprockets, battery, bulbs, etc etc etc.
It's an expensive toy alright...

I have a simple plan. Buy quality. Yes it's bloody expensive but after 16 years I'm looking to replace the VERY knackered Daytona Highway boots that have been dry (goretex) and warm. The uppers are fine but the soles are more holey than a Sunday Sermon! Jacket getting worn out too .... 12 years old, goretex Frank Thomas, Gloves are lovely Dianese race and are about 8 years old and going strong. Dianese race leather jeans with all the CE armour 8 years old too.

Wish list - replace with similar quality, that's all, probability on these wages - slim.
