I grew up around boats and my father always preached that if you could only afford a Bayliner, then you couldn't afford a boat. He had mostly custom SoCal boats, but had a few Glasstron's that we really enjoyed too.

We bought our lakeside retirement property in SC last spring. Ironically, the Glassmaster factory was located in SC, and there are usually a few listed for sale in that area. I'm keeping an eye on the local craigslist and other sites down there, to see if a project-grade one shows up for restoration. Not that I can make use of it due to medical restrictions about being outdoors, but it would be nice to have in my retirement.....

So frustrating last year, when I started realizing than my dream bike purchase in '20 ( pre-owned, low miliage 2017 Panigale 1299s anniversario) started to turn lemon in '21. I traded my awesome, reliable and fun HP4 for what I thought was gonna be my limited production, sexy, forever exciting bike, ever since I saw them debut in '16. In hindsight, definitely should have stuck with the HP4 instead of chasing the dream.

Honestly, I don't know that I've had buyers remorse after big purchases.
I have bought some smaller things that afterwards I felt, or realized I didn't need and thought to myself "eh, probably shouldn't have bought that". But this is dumb things like computer accessories, garage tools, stupid little wants. I guess I have had things I've been worried about after the initial purchase, but in the end never had remorse about or wish I hadn't bought. WAIT!!! I take that back. I've had ONE thing I regretted buying. I took a chance and bought some custom overfenders from a guy who was making them himself. His posts looked amazing, he was starting his business and trying to get his name out there, had some good reviews from his locals. Well a couple weeks wait turned into a few months, kept getting excuses why they werent done, and then he finally sent me a banged up set that he basically took off his car. Didn't fit, mounting holes drilled all over the place, stress cracks, etc.

I didn't love my pani either. Didn't even have it long. My lasting memory with that bike is - I could've worn booty shorts and I still would've been drenched in butt sweat from the exhaust pipes. |

I keep you in mind when it's time for me to move on from my '21 S1KRR! It has been a solid and reliable weekend only toy during the riding season! I don't daily anymore since I'm only two miles from work now, so the miles will be relatively low compared to my previously owned bikes used as commuters. I keep my bikes s well maintained just like the cars I've had, so if you're interested when the time comes, I'll make sure to extend the bimmerpost discount your way!

I actually got a 3rd degree burn on my inner thigh from my pani when I got caught in stop and go on a hot day. Awesome bike but I agree, not quite the user experience I envisioned for street riding.

You and I have always had similar taste and we also tend to spoil our ladies. The mechanical kind. She's so flippin' sexy. I have two buddies who own a repair shop. They do stunt riding for movies and also teach "actors" how to ride. They've owned, ridden and worked on pretty much everything and they both won't stfu about the new S1000RR. I've never seen them both so enamored over a motorcycle before. |

I'd never bitch about a junker I bought in my younger years...as you except what you pay for. Character building at best (even my Plymouth K-car)
All said, biggest lemon shit was a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6. First year of the direct injected turbo engine. Would spend weeks (if not months) in the shop at various stints. Car was also cursed to blow tires and rims all the time. Only car I ever ditched early, at just over 2 years & 27000 miles. Feel sorry for whatever sucker bought it off the BMW lot... |

Update - I do not have any regrets, this might just be the most fun motorcycle I've ever owned.
Second one still has a chance to be a regret but it hasn't left the shop yet, lol |

I was hoping to get the 959 out this weekend, but they just salted the piss out of the roads today because it rained last night , so now it will sit a little longer until we get more rain. So far I've ridden it for about 2 miles to warm up the chain, thats it. But I doubt I'll regret buying it.

1996 Dodge Ram 2500 gasser. Worst truck ever. 2 bad trans, melting wiring and crap a/c. After that truck I have yet to buy another one of their products. Ford trucks all the way. (I've had Chevy, GMC, and Isuzu as well)

Back in the 2000's i bought a computer from one of those telemarketing ads. I really needed a computer for school and i was mostly broke so i bought on on credit. Probably ended up paying 4-5k for it after interest!

It's difficult to explain but we all say the exact same thing when we hop off - "this the most fun I've had in awhile" or something similar. Fun is the word used by everyone. |
