Why do we keep spending more?

[OhoPlinker]

Because there's so much cool stuff out there!

Yeah, they keep coming out with new stuff every year. It's a vicious plot controlled by the CCP/PLA to scramble our minds.

You only die once. I live for every day.

Good point

I disagree, my heart and breathing stopped when I was 3. Dying can be a temporary thing, especially if you are already in a hospital.

Haven’t died since, not from lack of trying

Yeah, I was dangling by a thread, circling the drain, had my last rights read to me, but the good Lord was on my side when I said "not today". 31 years ago. Never give up.

Ok,
Why do spend as much or more for upgrades than the gun?
Case in point.
I paid under $450 for my Zelos new.
But have bought two types of moderators, bipod, bottle adapter, extra filter for the pump.
Then of course a different scope mount, even though I already had one that would work.
Now I'll be ordering another set if rings, a 500cc bottle, a bottle wrap with the rail. Lots more different pellets to try, even though I already have plenty that shoot Awesome.
Plus I bought a Crosman 2240 and Marauder grip frame and a few other assorted items.
And I'm already looking at maybe another rifle.
You all did this to me!
Where does all it end?
HELP!
I think I need a hug.

Same with my notos. Porting it wasn't enough, bought a plenum but then I needed to extend it, by extending it I ran into the moderator so I bought a drop down plenum. New, better cocking lever, brass weight for the hammer spring(now that was a good cheap upgrade). I couldn't hold off curiousity so when a 600 mm barrel came for sale on AGN I bought that, although I love my short barrel. A cylinder extension from c88 and a used air cylinder so I can get more shots when I have it set up for the long barrel. Oh I fell into a free drop down block and regulator so Now even tho I had no plan to bottle it, I can....oooffffff course I need a bottle to do that. . I'm going to have the air rifle version of a Lego kit now. Build it how I like. And I still need to get dimensions so I can order and a barrel band on it when I have the extra tube as I feel it needs the support. All new maple custom mags as well...............when will I stop.

The selection of options is "Deep and Wide" ... the variants are many ... our memories of what we already have fade until we find the "Other Two" in the Remuda ... "Oops" ... Squirrel ... we learn how to "Cut and Paste" to make that perfect one .... we "NEED STUFF" to make it all work better. There still is a "Space over here" ... AND ... BECAUSE ........

I'll say, I only rode my motorcycle once in January.

Sell it and buy a pile of new airguns. You can shoot all year around!

I ride all year round, so what's your point?

 

[Madhatter]

Yep, did the same thing for decades. To and from work. Around 35k miles a year.

Good for you. They don't like sitting around the garage.

 

[Madhatter]

Oh my dirt bikes haven't been ridden in about a year now. I just can't let them go. One I've had since 1990 and have done so many mods the poor thing doesn't know what it is.

Interesting combination of tires.

I raced MX for more than a decade when I was in my youth. I use to work for an AMA Hall of Fame rider.

Now, we have a bright orange 2020 ZX6R in the garage. It's my youngest son's bike. I don't ride it, but I get 'roped' into doing all the maintenance and modifications to it.

Here is me back in the 70s getting the holeshot at Washougal on my 360 Bultaco Pursang. Washougal's start straight use to turn right back in those days.

It's been years since I've owned a ZX-6.
