Default Any other expensive hobbies?

We all know owning a Monster (or any Ducati) is an expensive hobby. Are you drawn to expensive hobbies?

It seems like I am: hunting(big game, waterfowl, and upland), mountain biking, rock/mountain/ice climbing, hunting dogs (have 2). It is amazing the amount of gear one can acquire for these types of hobbies. I need a bigger house.

Paintball isn't cheap. Especially if you play in tournaments often.

From a monetary perspective, it does not interere at all. Most virtual dwarf tossing websites are free

however, from a time perspective, yes, it is a huge interference.

I don't consider being a Ducati owner an expensive hobby, I think anyone who's into biking ends up spending a chunk of change.

Now if you do vintage Ducatis, like bevels, then that's expensive as hell, even the Pantahs are expensive, but later Ducatis are more fungible and premiums only run around 10-25% for aftermarket items and parts.

Ducati published some industry surveys showing that the average Ducati rider was older, more educated, made more money and more likely to also own a home and a car compared to other sportbike marques, so I think it's relative to say they are more expensive overall. I can dig up that survey, but it was published in the Roadshow last year.

That being said, I am into fine wines and whiskies, cigars, and Indian chicks.
