In another thread some folks were discussing what they spent money on before peptides.

I thought it would make for it's own fun topic.

For me lately it's been motorcycles and ammo.

This thing eats rear tires for a snack. I get about 2 days out of a tire at the track. ($290/per). But it'll go 175mph!

I also shoot USPSA and to compete and train takes some dollars.

Trying to balance building my stash and still doing fun things has been a challenge!
 
I spend about 80% of my play money on deer hunting stuff and the other 20% on peptides lol
 
In about 10 years or so when my son can hunt, I can to get back into upland game hunting again. That requires a dog, new gun for him and more ammo. I also want a Honda Trail 125 to bum around town and camping. I want a shed and move my office/home gym next summer.

Camera equipment. But I think I'm actually restrained on this one. I'm on vacation now and I seriously considered a new camera body before leaving. I was responsible and bought the $2800 one instead of the $3800 one. Then I was even more responsible by returning it. I believe that about 95% of my improvement will come from technique, and about 5% from equipment. But I can't buy technique 😭
 
Pottery. "Fun retirement hobby" they said. "Won't cost much at all" they said. Sigh. A $2000 kiln, a $1200 pottery wheel, untold supplies and such $$$$ later, I'm doing good to find money for my new hobby hoarding grey. Anybody wanna buy a mug? (Kidding! These are going to an upcoming market)

😢 Yes I want oneeee So beautiful!

My kid and mom take all my extra cash....when I am not catering to their every need, I occasionally hike or camp, and my truck handles taking the rest of my cash in fuel.
 
This was it until I was forced to sell it 😢😢

Being good with a camera is harder than most people think!

Those are beautiful pieces.
 
Whatever the hobby of the year is... ADHD runs strong here... Guitars, guns, ammo, long-range rifle comps, photography (why do lenses have to cost so dang much???), knives, and I'm sure I'm missing multiple others... Oh, and 6 kids, they're awesome, but expensive!

Thanks! Wait til you see my newest creation, the mail this weekend is bringing a custom GLP themed stamp for mugs. 1 in 8 people now taking a GLP? I smell a market opportunity, lol!

I used to race, I've had a race license with 3 different clubs through the years. I've been a coach and control rider for track days since 2018.

You are correct, TRS is the superior system!

I feel this so much. I go down some hobby rabbit holes hardcore!

I haven’t raced big boy bikes in years. Track days were my jam for about 10 years after racing. Now I rarely get to the track. I do still try to get in at least one endurance mini moto race a year. At some point I’ll finish track prepping my RC390 and get back on the big tracks.

Post up when you get back out there!

Coaching/Control riding helps keep the costs contained which helps. I also have tons of free time during track season so I have no excuses!

Going to these games eats a nice chunk, but they are sooooooo fun!
