I'll attest to that.  A co-worker just bought a used Harley yesterday.  
When I asked him about it this morning (a beautiful sunny spring morning 
in Chicagoland, I might add), he mentioned that, unlike me, he bought 
his bike as a "hobby" and that it doesn't run right at the moment.  I 
about died.  So he spent more money on a 2001 Harley with high miles 
(for a Harley.  What is that, about 5,000?) that doesn't run right than 
I did for my brand new Sprint?  Hmm, some hobby...  I'm waiting for the 
day when he actually rides it.

And I wonder why co-workers ask me if I'm planning on pulling my bike 
inside whenever it starts to rain...
