I think I have what they Call a Kite Addiction :P Here I sit trying to find were to get the Money for a Talon UL, "Especially after trying Denny's Standard" I have Two WM, E2, The Buss-GFAK Storm Series, and three SL kites, Things have been a little Slow with my business, I'm wanting one so bad I'm looking at what credit card I can put it on :-\. Who got me hook on this hobby? ;D, Lets see I could sell my Honda CR 500, and buy a UL, Standard and a Vented ???
Thanks for looking,
John

I know the feeling brotha 8)

Man could I tell some stories.  ::)

Just take a peak in my closets and garage


or maybe not ... wouldn't want you to how far it can go

Steve had it so bad he bought a whole kite store. I wonder if he said to Dan "just use the card you have on file".  :)

Funny you should mention addiction, I found another as-new Psycho last night that I have no recollection of buying  ???

 :D

Yeah..well as you can see.....Welcome to the club! 

Patrick

Pah ! Beginner. Come back when you need a bigger bag for your spare red TrickTail ULs.

 ;)

Mike.

We got home Monday night from MIKE (having flown four days in a row) and as we were unloading, I got out my Borelli Glider and flew in the driveway for 20 minutes!

Kite addiction can be cured.

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. ;)

I've been in addicted for over 30 years, the only cure will be death.

Partial inventory here  (http://www.kiteking.org)

3 step program? hypnosis? gum with chemicals? give us who are weaker then thee a clue!

My publisher won't let me divulge the secret here.  Gotta buy the book.

Not too sure about the gum......but the chemicals definitely help fuel the addiction!!!   8) :o 8)

Thanks for all the replies I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem, sometimes I find my self in front of the computer looking at the Wind Speed (http://www.weatherforyou.com/maps/wind_speed.php) site looking at where I can go to fly, I found my self the other day driving an hour & half to sit for an hour to wait for the wind to subside a little, then after the wind didn't die down I drove home with no flight time (http://bestsmileys.com/crying/13.gif)

Couldn't fly in high winds.....sounds to me like you need to go out and buy a few more kites ;) ;)...both SLK and Stunt that way you won't have to put up with such issues!!!

Hay, I also have a Vented on the list :P

If I order a new kite how do I keep it from the wife that I spent money that I shouldn't have, I know she can only be mad for so long, RIGHT? :-\

So how long have you been clean Ron, I think I managed 2~ years last time  ;)

Are you out there skream?

About 6 months now.  One day at a time....

You need to learn how to work it John. Before I ordered my vent I had my wife walking outside on windy days saying "this is why you need a vent, right? You better order one."   :D


Denny

Hey, Denny I worked the system and got the OK on the UL(http://bestsmileys.com/happy/7.gif) Will order as sone as I finalize Color Choice

If the weather allows you can fly mine Sunday and see how you like it.


Denny

I think what work was choosing Greens, the wife's favorite Colors ;)

just point out that you could be spending that time and money in a bar

I was addicted until I got married in 1993, then my addiction went elsewhere!!  :P

Don ;D

Kite addiction?  Don't know what you guys are talking about  ::)

Are you still only at the first stage of 'denial'??  We've all seen your collection.  If any one needs therapy...  :D

What collection?   ::) You mean the sold kite collection? Not many left in the kite bag collection ...  ;D  But that 10th Anniversary Krystal #00  is sure calling out to me  :'( ...  yes ...  I still need therapy ...  must just say no ...  8)

Bought the book.  There was a kite on the cover.  >:(  Returned the book and used the money to finance the kite.  ???  :o

ATB,
Sam

I think I remember saying something like "it could have been a Harley".  ;D

Actually, that might have been cheaper.

I hear ya. I have been buying kites like mad! This past three months I must have purchased four or five... Gotta get some therapy....Must stop.. Someone please HELP :)

Harley?...Just for info.... the travel rods break-down and fit rather nicely in the side bags! Best of both worlds!
