There is a very clear method to the madness. Going broke in the process is not one of them. Self control is a must.
Why should I explain my decisions to you.

I'm at the point in my life where I weight every decision very carefully. I'm living very comfortable in retirement. I intend to keep it that way. Everything I have is paid for but for the motorhome. And it's making money by renting it out. When we bought the motorhome. We thought that we would use it a lot more. But that's not the case anymore. It's just taking up space.

I've built my share of motors over the years. The biggest car motor was a 440ci to a 572ci monster stuffed into a '73 Dart Sport A body. The last car motor was a 454 LS7 create in a 78 TransAm. Did 2 FI bikes. A Kaw Z1, 1000 with a turbo. The last a VFR with a supercharger, which I still have.

If I was 10 yrs younger. Yeah, I would jump down the rabbit hole deeper with a built motor with FI. Now, I just like reading what other people are doing. Plus I give them my support. I don't need FI to be happy with my Z.

With age, you start to look at things a little different. If you ever retire. Then you will know where I'm coming from.
