I feal your price analysis is right on, I think the poblem with society and debt in general is everything else that people think they need. Just look at the crap people waste there money on today and all the credit thay have available to do so. 

have to agree w/you on this one.  It's a marketing scheme.  We are bombarded with it daily. "Use this product and it will make you bigger/faster/better looking/more succesful/etc..."  So we have to have it.  Credit makes it so we can pay $0 down and no interest/payments for months!

I don't think I would be any faster on a new CRF450 than my '92 CR250, but in my mind it will make me appear bigger/faster/better looking/more succesful/etc... so I will continue to whine about my old bike until my wife breaks down and leaves me or lets me get one! :)

People use to mow there own grass, people use to change thier own oil, people use to work on there own stuff. Now, it is throw it away and go finace new.

What do you mean used to? I would consider it a sin to pay someone to change my cars oil or cut my grass. Plus they'ed probably screw it up. You know, the lines wouldn't be straight and all. If someone else worked on my stuff then what would I have to do?

Does that explain why I have been receiving spam about enlargement lately? :scream:

KaTooMer, you have way to much time on your hands.

I've been told that a few times.

Yeah, and I have hit most of them!

I heard a factoid recently that there are more trees in the USofA today than there were in the year 1900. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it! ;)

Sorry I do not smoke. But I am a tree hugger.. Yep I hug em' and kiss em'.. then cut em' down and eventually burn em' in my wood stove... A true environmentalist.... :thumb:

I hope you all know I was just kidding about the whole tree kissing thing... :D Thee rest about the cutting and burning is all true..

Nothing wrong with appreciating trees.
