Default I think I'm addicted to bikes...

In no way do I feel this is a bad thing, just a little odd. I'm 29 years old and most of my co-workers grab their phones to check Facebook or play games. Meanwhile, I grab my phone to surf hdforums to read about bikes...i cant stop. New bike tech, powder coating, maintenance, road stories...its all good!

Tadpole...I think it's an addiction we all have, so here, you're in the majority.

My addiction to bikes is more like,

98 - Buell S1W
03 - Buell XB9S
00 - Harley FXST
11 - Harley FLHTC

Then I think about what my next one is going to be.....

I was on a deployment 150 miles above the Arctic Circle in Norway back in the winter of 1993 (Op Battle Griffin). We were living in GP tents just below the treeline on a wind swept mountain overlooking the Norwegian Sea. I was pissed because I was missing Daytona Bike Week so my 1stSgt made me sit in a chair like I was riding my Softail and they positioned a fan in front of me set on high speed while they poured a beer into the spinning blades. Yup, I've been addicted for a long time as well.

Hi, my name is Jack. I'm an addict as well. I thought about the 12 step program and decided to remain an addict.

You're among friends here. It's like I tell people, I spent most of my money on motorcycles and guitars. The rest I wasted.

I am closing in on 40K miles for this years riding of the 18 bikes in my garage.

So like the OP am I addicted? I did take three weeks off to take my wife on some trips and one week to work on her honey do list.

I was at a HDA meeting (Harley Davidson Addiction) & I stated that 'I quit my addiction & it was the scariest 5 minutes of my life'. LOL
