You have to love Freedom boys ... to each his own, live and let live. I know one thing, when anyone
criticizes how I spend my money, they can pack sand for all I care. I made it, I'll spend it.

Thats just too much to clean,maybe thats why so few miles. Id rather go riding on an average looking bike. That being said who knows how much the guy works or how much time he has availble to ride. In 5 years when its for sale w/2k miles for 14k or whateverits a good deal.

I know exactly when enough is enough. The 2008 Parts catalog is 832 pages long, when you reach the 832nd page, then that is enough.

I have under 17K into my bike and I bet I love mine at least as much as he loves his. Maybe more. Some people need to have theirs nicer than everyone elses.

He might be a collector and in 20 or so years,when the bike goes on the auction block with low miles and loaded with factory accessories and sells for 3x's what he has in it,then you will know why he did what he did.

If I had that much bling on a bike, I wouldnt want to bring it out in the rain either. It would probably take me two weeks to wash and polish all that chrome.
