Default Anyone Satisfied?

With every upgrade I tell myself that there's no other upgrade's I need. The next thing you know I'm researching bars, seats, shocks.......etc.

Any of you ever get to the point of "that's enough" and stick to it or are you on a never ending quest like me?

I'm sassified. But, I HAVE been thinking about a little boost in the ol' cubic inch dept. Just a modest one. But I dunno; bike runs great as is, & enough power to get me a speeding ticket any time I want one, so I guess I'm sassified.

Unless I break something, mine is done.
Of course, it's a Shovelhead that turns 40 this year, in case you're wondering how long it takes.

I'm satisfied with mine as is. Only need a replacement tail bag since it has seen better days.

I'm never satisfied. I get bored riding and modding the same bike, so I change rides about every two years. I buy used.

Nope...

When I’m at 200ci’s with 200HP and 200 TQ @200 MPH and the bike runs cool and dependable the motor will be done.

Its my 200/200/200/200 Fantasy

...seriosly though it’s a Harley half the fun is tinkering with it! If I wanted to just ride I’d get some funky body armor, a high tech helmet, and a BMW.

I am satisfied with my bikes. I don't want to make any changes. I'll maintain them & fix anything that breaks or wears out & that's it. It's a good place to be in life. I'm happy!

I was at that point not long ago. That lasted about two weeks. Now I’m removing **** I added and putting the old stuff back on. It seems as long as I’m replacing something I’m happy. Doesn’t matter if I’m replacing it with something new or not.
