For me, the justification happens at the time of purchase.

After that, bikes are like tools. I use them when I need them.

I have always been a tinkerer and working on stuff. Cars, boats, motorcycles, trailers, etc. I have a garage full of tools, some of them purchased, or even made to do one specific job that may never be used again. Others get used regularly. I feel no compulsion to get rid of any of my tools. Same with bikes. I may not have ridden a bike for years, but if I wake up one morning and decide it's the tool for the job today, so be it.
