What were you most happy to spend your money on?

What are your favorite three purchases related to your racing (or riding) "career?" I'm talking about stuff that you bought and were really happy to spend money on. Even if it was really expensive for you. Stuff that brings you the kind of satisfaction you can't really put a price tag on. You look at the credit card statement and go "nope, still doesn't hurt." It can be safety-wire pliers, or a toy-hauler. It just has to be your favorite purchase, something that truly changed the quality of your experience. Gifts don't count, unless your spouse used your money (come to think of it, it doesn't count either if you used your spouse money to buy it for yourself).

I know that a bunch of you think that sticking to guidelines causes kidney stones but please make an effort just this time, you dumb asses. Here are the rules:

- No motorcycles listed here. This is about the stuff that allows you to ride your motorcycles.

- Transport vehicles allowed if they are used only for racing purposes. If you drive your awesome duallie to work, it's not eligible.

- You only get three choices. It's hard for everyone. That's the point. We all only buy stuff we like. This exercise is about deciding what you like most. If there's a tie, flip a coin, I don't care. Some of you think that you're special and deserve four or more choices: you're not.

- If you're sponsored by the manufacturer, pick something else.

- Screw up this thread, and there will be consequences.


I'll start:

- My Kendon folding trailer.
- My Pitbul stands.
- My Aerostich Roadcrafter suit.

Good Lord, by the time I finished proofreading this, I had three different choices. I'll just leave it alone.

 

1. JDSA
2. 6x12 enclosed trailer
3. Spidi suit

 

1) Diesel pusher
2) Tandem axle trailer
3) RS Taichi Vegas Evo Suit lettered by Alexa at SpyderLeatherWorks-

 

My SV650 (best downgrade EVER)
BB water-buffalo leathers
Teknic Violator boots. (Wish these were still in production)

 

What's that?

1. AIM MXL Pista - I like taking the guess work out of shit.
2. AIM MXL Pista - I really like it.
3. Did I mention the MXL?

2- 6x12 enclosed trailer
3- Arai helmet

1.Toy hauler after I had my first kid. Got the wife back to the track and love having my own shitter there.
2. Custom Pilot leathers
3. GoPro. Love being able to analyze video.

 

1. Ducati Riding Experience at Imola. It was the first place I got my knee down, and an unforgettable experience.

2. Tire warmers after not using them the first couple years.

3. I concur with Pitt Bull stands. Someone would have to come out with an amazing innovation for me to buy anything else. I haven't got around to buying one of their trailer restraints, but that seems like a great product and I plan on getting one when I get back into racing. I'm expecting it to be on my list when I do.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned their divorce yet...

 

$60 for the race school

air conditioner for the trailer

bursig stand

 

1. My first track day - it all went downhill after that. (The divorce came soon after)
2. My 5x8 enclosed trailer (used for $700)
3. Pit Bull stands are the shit.

Pilot leathers (fuck you you fucking thief who ever you are)
Fox Creek leather jacket
