I'm notoriously tight with money, so my little splurges on discount CDs from Daedalus never amount to more than a relatively tiny sum for the weird ethnic folk, historic baroque recordings, and other arcane musical treasures I find in their catalogue.

I allow myself to splurge on discount/remainder art books from time to time. Years ago my, ahem, library already weighed just over one ton. But, neither books nor music are the real wallet vacuumers.

My true indulgence is motorcycles. I'll buy whatever I need to keep my bikes running well, and I'll pay mechanics shocking sums to work on them when I can't fix them myself. I'll miss lucrative work days, drive for as much as six hours, and buy many gallons of high octane fuel in order to drag my knees around a race track on a fast bike.
