There two main things in my life; electric guitar and motorcycles - I wish I had more money!

 

I think it's a Harley thing, I too purchased a new Harley a little over a week ago, I too have spent serious change since signing the contract. I had the same problem with the CVO, it was supposed to have everything I would need (NOT), I have owned many motorcycles, I typically did not need anything except maybe a helmet and jacket up until I started buying Harley's.

Trust me, $1000,00 is not the end of it. I see your $1000.00 and raise you $700.00

 

I spent over $1000 just reworking the front end. I've slowed down, but that "mod bug" will bite me again.

Now, if I had the mechanical aptitude and tools, I could go crazy rebuilding a more powerful engine. It's probably good that I don't have the skillset. I just fix it as it breaks. Learn something new everytime.

 

Its the same with cars... This thread made me realize I have $500 in parts sitting on the bench for the last 6 months that i have yet to install in my '64 Chevelle. The bike has been getting all of my attention!!!

 

Yeah man, I have and still spend on guitars ...

 

That reminds me, I have parts for the wife's Mini S and the 64 Fury Convertible waiting for installation. But it aint really winter here, so I ride.....

 

There's a place for em..but not on my bike!

I've spent some serious coin on recording gear and basses in just the last 2 years. It never ends.

Now, I have the aptitude and the tools..lol

 

Here’s my 05 started as a standard. Lol since the pic I spent $3500 on the front end alone and now I’m doing the Electra glide and keeping all receipts but won’t add it up till I’m done.

 

I had to convince my wife, who was new to Harley's a few years ago, that no one keeps them the way they bought them.

 

There is no cure for this sickness.
