Yeah, take any hobby or sport or whatever that involves "gear" of some sort, and you'll get some variation of the old saw:

"The correct number of $ITEM to own is n+1, where n is the number you own now."

$ITEM can be "mountain bikes", "guitars", "road bikes", "motorcycles", "guns" or pretty much anything.
