bike (toy) pics (http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frt98/album?.dir=/174d)

Though i'd post up some of my more expensive toys:) my bikes :nod:
Big one is a Specialized FSR team DH. Spent about £4500 so far, but its worth every penny.
The iccle one is a Revell 26" but with 24" wheelset and '04 Marzocchi DJ1's spent between £1500 and £2000 (dont really wanna add it all up:()

Go on then peeps, lets see what everyone else 'wastes' their money on :thumbs: :wack:

[kirkster]

I have a ZX7R thats had a little bit thrown at it.

Then of course there is my decks, which need constant new vinyl on them.

[2 Black Lines]

Sold or selling most of the toys, to a buy the new runabout - Audi S4 ( V8 4wd, 340 bhp).

And also to finance the S13 V8 :rolleyes:

[Jonny]

Bikes as well, but XC not DH...

Currently have a Fisher Big Sur, with Hope Mono 4 pots, and a few other tweaks...

My new Cotic frame arrives next week, Fox Forx are already here waiting for it... Can't wait :)

[twinturboch]

^^Nice boat :nod: :nod: ^^ How much are they now? I was thinking about one as an alternative to a Sea-Doo but they were a bit too pricey. :thumbs:

[--Lorien--]

Mainly music stuff for me too, pair of Technics Decks, a £2500 antique violin, enough CD's and vinyl to fill an entire room, and hopefully a new guitar soon! :)

[mattpayne]

^^Nice boat :nod: :nod: ^^ How much are they now? I was thinking about one as an alternative to a Sea-Doo but they were a bit too pricey. :thumbs:

in this country one of these is about £5-6k :) but you could by one from the states for half that and import it... :)

but, better still... get a rib with an outboard and avoid jet drives like the pluage! :D the rib in the secong photo is my friends boat :) and great fun when its really choppy! whiplash and days off work anyone?? :wack:

they are beyond cool and EVERYONE! looks when you chug into a marina or onto the beach (and they are pretty quick) but maintainace is a right shitter...

[Charlie]

Blade 4.9 III power kite... Loads of power and it's all free :D

Then hope to get one of these to be towed around in...

My main toys are a shed full of mountain bikes and bits, the best one being a Santa Cruz Heckler that I bought earlier this year.

Also into power kites, just trying to work out a way to combine the two :wack:

[Deacon]

[gaz.thomas]

Toys include: an old lancia, a little honda 400, a couple of snowboards, some guitars & amps, the piano, the recording setup, the hi-fi, a little bit of music ;)...and the 6'6 thruster I'm planning on buying next week. Ohh and all manner of electrical gadgetry.

Why don't I have any savings again?!?

Tel me about it. It's all about the RIB with INBOARD. I want a 'Revenger' but they are a bit pricey at the moment ;) 29 feet long, 450hp @ about 4000rpm :D :D :D :D :D
Check out the racing seats :smitten: http://freespace.virgin.net/philjo.morris/images/bryne29sj.JPG

[Draven]

gah you swine deathstar

we cant really afford the "long term maintainance" of a cat or a dog, so i've started thinking aibo

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19198&item=5911894478&rd=1

looks lovely, the new version seems to have had a decent upgrade, 2.4ghz wlan, more commands, greater tracking and A.I

looks really sweet
maybe if this loan comes through.......

*edit* *ds* who makes dave?

[bens14]

Big collection of snowboards boots and bindings, most of which are knacked or have been stolen by my siblings :annoyed:

[SFC]

Gary Fisher Big Sur, 2000 year model iirc.

All the boys toys I buy these days are the real thing, as I've got three boys. It's much more satisfying than buying things for myself.

Girls toys are another matter altogether ;)

I have a Heckler too, although mine is a '99. Does not get much use anymore! Plus I have three other bikes gathering dust, far less effort, and nearly as much fun, to go out and ride the motorbike.
