When does too much "really" becomes TOO MUCH?
I struggled a bit for my wife to digest me spending $8K for a '06 800EFI SP, but after that, it came the Lock & Ride rear cargo box, both cargo bags, the back rest, the Fender bag, front and rear Body Guard brushguards, front and rear rack extenders, nerf bars, Polaris Hand Guards, Radiator guard, rack extender cargo bags, and when I was about to drop $800 for a 2.5 Polaris Winch and a set of 27" Bighorns, I was stopped cold by my Wife, and it dawned on me that I was spending WAY too much on my hobby...
Any of you guys had your love for ATVs turn to this??

WE all have the same problem[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Just tell her you think you are going to get a Harley to go with your Polaris.Then watch the dollar signs go in her head.

You need to ride more and shop less lol. It can be addicting but you need to wait a week or so after you decide you think you need something to think about it, you may still get it but at least you don't grab on impulse.....

Honestly, get your wife riding. Everyone I have ever met who badmouthed quads wanted one as soon as I convinced them to go for a spin on mine. Do that and pretty soon you'll end up with three quads, a trailer, and a new truck to tow em with in your driveway. Your bank will thank you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
If you look at any person who is dedicated to their hobby, you will realize that they spend an obscene amount of $$$ on it, fortunately, with a quad, its just one instance of stickershock, instead of many little ones.
