Default Any of you have weird Harley addictions?

LOL, I'm not sure why but a couple years ago I developed an addiction to different seats for my bikes. At one point I had 6 or 7 different seats. I even had duplicates of the same model seat. I also found myself collecting foot pegs and highway pegs as well. I would spend hours sometimes on Craigslist or Ebay looking for a deal on a seat, even though I didn't need one. As a matter of fact I still do that even though I have sold off most of the seats and pegs I had gathered over the years. Do any of you fine folks do stuff like that?

As I've said in another thread. I'm a bit of a wreck mentally... I'm manic depressive, obsessive compulsive, and have a pretty impressive anxiety disorder. I get laser focused on a thing and get immersed in it. That has lead to a TON of weird collections in my house... Usually technology based stuff. I'm a huge computer nerd, so I have 35 keyboards, and 50 mice. All different. I also have to buy in twos. I get anxious if I don't have a backup. I just bought two daymaker headlights...

My wife started giving me the side eye when I bought my bike last week. She knows that it's coming... Just not sure how it's going to manifest itself. I never thought about seats. Thanks for that. Time to go shopping.

Just the normal continual upgrades to performance, comfort, and such as I can afford them...

I've probably got 18 pairs of gloves, and I'd like more. Weirder still is that I usually only wear three pairs (one unlined, one lined, one heated). I can literally spend an hour at the local BMW shop looking at and trying on gloves.

Does your backup wife sleep in the same bed as both of you or in another part of the house?

You are going to have to define weird, have a feeling my definition is going to be a wee bit different than your's

I didn't buy the wife... She bought me.

I'm oddly addicted to a Harley forum I read. Tons of strange and wacked out people and even though sometimes I fight the urge to get involved in a thread that's completely MENTAL... I KEEP LOGGING IN AND LOOKING FOR MORE.

I need help.
