...that despite having your bikes already built up, you keep looking at mailorder sites and buy and sell forums??? You might not need anything but just feel compelled to 'see' what's for sale somewhere?

Example: For me, I'm just waiting on my rims and I'm done. Although lately I've been thinking of getting rid of my rear shock to get another one that has 0.25" of extra stroke to get a bit more travel. Maybe it's just boredom. It's disgusting!

I browse B&S type forums all the time. You never know when you're going to run across a screaming deal, or something you might not think of needing.

I'm buying something right now that I wouldn't have thought of needing/wanting, but it's there, and it's a good price, so I'm buying it.
