A nice MTB
[i]I've been looking for a Morini 3 ½ for nearly 2 years now[/i]
tbh 30 years ago they were no better than an RD250/X7, but if you want something Italian and old:

Must be the loudest road-legal bike ever.
My list currently only has a Gravity Dropper seatpost on it.
I already have 2 Laverdas + a Guzzi and a 250 Duke
I want another Morini 😀

Although I think I speak for an entire nation here.
It's a shame that the only way I can get one, is to buy a plane ticket 😥
1. Big van that i can convert into a camper
2. New Hardtail frame
3. New MTB shoes to try and cure my numb toes
4. Tiles for Hall
5. Greece...reckon i've got enough down back of sofa..
6. Apartment in Madrid
7. Apartment in Barcelona
pretty modest I think and if my numbers come up on euro millions friday i'm having the lot. And i'll buy you all whatever you want....
Ooh, let's see...
Hed 3 and a nice lenticular disc wheel, skin suit and sperm helmet.
Renthal Fatbars
Campag Pista cranks
Avid Juicy pads
100mm Thomson stem
Sadly I think the only purchase that will be made will be the pads 🙁
Nikon D4, actually a D800 would do fine.
Moots Frame.
Free time. Sunshine. Youth. 😀
Oddly, despite hankering after one for a few years, the wife said we could get a van/camper the other day. Now it's become a reality, I'm not so sure I want one.....!!!
DrP
That's always the problem with stuff you want. Once you get over the initial joy of buying the thing you want, you're always left with the feeling that you didn't want it at all.
I don't buy anything anymore over 10 english pounds.
Saying that though, I currently have bids standing on:
A vintage Honda Race bike.
A Beta Trials Bike and
A Norton Cafe Racer.
I cannot afford one of them, let alone all three. I can only hope I am outbid soon.
hmmm.. maybe a set of UST tyres for my UST rims. that is unless someone can tell me how i can get my EXO Maxxis to sit on the rim without burping (three attempts, three burps = innertubes).
other than that some fitness would be nice. i can ride all day on te flat (55km yesterday without any problems), but once there is an incline my legs go to pot and i feel that i've nothing energy wise. might be due to a rough cold i had a few weeks back, but it's annoying and embarressing for me when out riding with my mate.
a small plot of land down south on the edge of the alps. not massive, just big enough to build a small 2-bed log cabin and within 10 minute ride of a train station. i'm currently keeping an eye open, but most plots are too close to town or too big.
edit: forgot to say... you bunch of consumerist whores! 😉

This is why I'm considering not bothering changing my frame.. it's really fun to ride but sometimes feels like a handful round corners and my knee digs into the swing arm when cornering and whipping... just don't know if I can justify how much a new frame costs for something I use once or twice a week (if I'm lucky)!
Mad Professor Golden Cello.
Nice smooth overdriven delay.
Cotic Rocket, first bike I've seen in a while that made me want to buy immediately. Have to ride it first though.
Time, I'd like to buy some spare time to ride and to chill out.
