Title: Re: Kite Addiction? Post by: moegeo on April 30, 2009, 08:17 AM I've been involved with this nutty hobby going on 4 years.
At least for me I've slowed purchases way down. I also am less affected by the new greatest kite ever. That being said, I already own a Talon UL. Steve, please don't take this as a challange, You know I'm weak. ;) Title: Re: Kite Addiction?
