Indy, I still think you are wise. You saved for the bike, you thought long and hard about your decision, etc.

I try not to judge other folks' decisions as to how they spend their money, so long the purchase doesn't have an adverse impact on others. That said, I don't think irresponsible spending is very smart (particularly since my taxes will be going up and funding the big bailout, but that's besides the point). I'm old school and strongly believe that people should take responsibility for their choices/actions.
