been embarrassed to tell someone how much your bike cost????
well maybe not embarrassed, just hesitant??
I came home from work yesterday by bike and my neighbor is out with his two kids. Apparently he just bought them 2 bikes from Toys-r-us (which is a whole different story) Anyway he looks at my bike and says "Nice bike" then he asks what does something like that run ?? like $300? . I just shyly say a little more than that. he asks $500???? and i just laugh.. I finaly told him I paid like $1600, 8 years ago for it. he looks at me Laughs and says "who would pay so much money for a bike?" You can get them much cheaper in Toys are us!!" ( Thats another story) ... Meanwhile Im thinking Im glad its my old stumpjumper.. Imagine what he would say if he knew I spent $3000 on my heckler!!!
sometimes I feel wierd telling people how much i spend on my bikes, and that I own a few.... its easy to talk to a fellow biker about everything, but to a non-biker its much harder. why do you think that is???
