Whats the most money you have spent on sports equipment

[Seagull58]

I spent thousands on a wife 20 years, probably around 10 grand for the wedding. Got rid of it a few years later as I'd hardly used it.

Thousands on bowling balls over the last 15 or so years (although in the earlier years it was parent-funded haha!).

At £100-£250 a pop they're pretty expensive, I have 6 that I use right now. Even my bowling SHOES were £120!

Oh wow I can take the lead.

£1500 on a bike, one of these:-

Probably about £100 on my Babolat tennis racket.

What a ledge he is! BIG ERN!

 

[Jonesy]

I spent £120 on a Newbery Navarone cricket bat. At the time was the most expensive thing I owned. I couldn't bring myself to use it very much so it just sat in my room as decoration.

£170 on a Brighton shirt

Even back in the 1970's-1980's Kart Racing was bloody expensive - spent thousands on chassis and engines (they came separately) - I remember one meeting my brother and I blew up all of the 3 engines we had which cost my Dad best part of £1500 - in 1975!

I have no doubt anyone that does any serious Motor racing, either 2 or 4 wheeled, can probably beat this.......

£3,500 on my Carp fishing stuff !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Durlston]

Around 200 quid for a snooker cue about 15 years ago.

I still have it but don't play much anymore. Snooker clubs are being closed down because of the bookies being allowed more and more betting/fruit machines and the recession's hit Riley's hard. While I can still knock in 40 and 50 breaks on full size tables that's never been anywhere near good enough to be able to turn professional and make a living from it. There are Chinese kids making centuries and maximums at the age of 10 - that's frightening how much the standard of the game has risen.

About £250 on a Garnin 310

Joint buy with brother and dad when I lived with the rents. £1000 on a running machine.

£363 on a snooker/pool cue, handmade by John Parris to my spec. Cracking value, had it for over 10 years now and it's still as straight as an arrow and will last a lifetime if looked after properly.

 

[Glanders]

Two grand on my time trial bike. Total bike-related expenditure over last ten years would be something obscene.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

£74 for a Table Tennis bat.

I meant to say on the Lance thread, why the frick haven't you been over to the 'cycling geeks' thread to say hello?

 

[Peever]

In one go would be my Ping G2 Irons which set me back about 850 pound. The club set overall has got me for at least 1400-1500 pound....

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

Hate to think but probably well into 6 figures on greyhounds over the years
