I have a plan. More black. Then once I have everything black, maybe a different color for the tin. And....no... the insanity never ends.

At least for me, I'm still executing to my plan. I pretty much have the major points of my list in my head, to achieve the bike I have in my head. They may take little detours every once in a while, but still marching to that same drum.

Oh, and I don't think it ever ends.... at least not for me. I like working on my bike, it's therapeutic for me. So it's not all about getting to the end... it really is the journey.

I'm pretty much done! The last few things I wanted I did over the winter, finished taking off the rear reflectors, chromed the triple trees, spun aluminum speedo, hell I even chromed my exhaust bracket! I just finished doing the motor with hot toppers and I'm confident I'm done, I think!

It really depends on how much you love your bike.I don't love my bikes (I love my wife and kids),so they stay stock.However,I can see many of you real bikers here love your bikes alot so you will waste your money on stupid bolt on parts.(and call them MODS)I am curious about something though.I wonder how many of you real bikers here have been riding more then 2 years?

It only ends when you run out of ideas, I started out with a general idea of what I wanted to do and went with that. I never drew up a plan on paper but knew that I wanted to bob my fender and a few other things.

That being said, I'm waiting for new bars and a new seat in the mail.

Thanks Fat Bill, Yeah it seems like he doesn't have anything good to say from what I've seen. He says he loves his wife, but from his attitude I don't think she feels the same.
