Time to blow some money on geegaws. You know you need those parts, upgrades and just maybe even a goddam complete.
I just ordered a new 24 trials bike from UK.

You can just select a new bike from the ones wedged in your bumper.
Pretty much done upgrading this year. I'd still like to turn my MOB into a Killswitch...
Actually I just got two new forks so I'm done spending on bikes for now.
Just some new pedals installed on a couple bikes the other day. That's all this year. Future purchases will only be for replacing broken/worn parts.
I'm starting a parts bin to build up a 26" ss hardtail. I hope to have it built by this fall. Going to try and be as cheap as possible, yet have it all bling bling in the end. Gotta do it on the pseudo-sly though, this could get expensive. Oh boy!

a motorcycle, sailing lessons, i would like an urban/trail-ish hardtail this summer but will prolly just spend the bike $$$ on the townie (need fenders & a rack & some other bits) and a paddle for stand up paddle board.
a firearm
airbag set-up for my gti and passat and 180mm single crown. Just bought an Evil Sovereign as my portland commuter/trail bike.
I've been on the mad quest for a 1968 Camaro. Damn they have jumped way in price. Looking for one to restore.
some crack
Monkeyfest and a few other events, a powered wheelbarrow for VMBA, some charitable contributions, whatever else comes up.
building up a sinister gruitr as a mini dh 
A fly fishing rod, perhaps a wheelset for the XC bike, some camera gear/a camera body, perhaps some climbing/backpacking gear. Who knows though, I don't really NEED any of it. Like that matters though...
Depends on what I find I need this year, so far I need new tires on the truck and to pay my taxes, those should hold off anything I really want for awhile.
Oh fvk yeah! Great thread!!!
I just bought a whole bunch of bike parts with the 7 weeks of saved pay checks, being that I am not a tax paying citizen yet.

All I'm doing is working. I have no time to spend any money.
I need new seals on my fork. I don't have enough oil to do the job. I bought a small bottle last time.. I would like to get a set of the Hive cranks. I don't need them. I Just want them...

And "buying" me an engeeniring degree in mechatronics. (Well mostly it's also a lot of work
)
you're buying monkeyfest??? YAY, FREE BEER FOR TODOS!
I'm getting married, so I've got about $700 into my tux and accessories...another $300 or so on building up my road bike, fresh bearings for the sunday, a new headset, and a few other baubles.
I can't afford to put new tires pads or rotors on it. Shmeh. And the IRS just hit me up for $1600 in back taxes.
I bought new skis and ski boots this past winter, so I've used up my new toy allotment for a while.
I need new brakes for the MTB though. Something in a hydraulic disc.

Full suspension rig...along the lines of the Blur LT...
Got a new frame last summer, getting ready to order a Rockshox Revelation RLT Ti soon.
I'm building up a new xc bike, so it's been an expensive winter to say the least. I've made my last bike work for two years, so fresh pieces are pretty exciting and long overdue. Last things I need are:
XO parts for 1x10 set up
XTR Trail brakes
XTR Trail pedals
XO parts for 1x10 set up
XTR Trail brakes
XTR Trail pedals
I'll be just like Danny Mac without the skill! That leaves short and ugly, but I'll take what I can get.
not much here. few upgrades to my bikes, but only necessary ones. trying to save to get a legit road bike next year. possibly custom frame.
might be getting some new brew equipment so i can do all grain, but we'll see how that goes.

Probably gonna build some race wheels when I get around to it... Hope/Crest/1.7-1.5. Been thinking about that for months though and still haven't got off my ass.
Though I just got a bike shop as a client, we're revamping just about everything he's got, plus launching a race team. I may just do a trade out instead of taking monies... so I need to decide something more major that I "need", like a frame or a fork/wheel combo. Maybe a lifetime supply of valve stem caps.

Landscaping......lots and lots of landscaping. Though that's going to be more labor than cash.
