Sorry to disagree about the generalization of a wife's reaction but I started a second shelf in my garage for old parts today... Should I call Dr. Phil too?

Maybe the wife needs her own bike !

No. Sounds like you are a well balanced person because you realize that when you need something, its far better to go to your box/shelf than it is the dealer.

werd.

riding is the point.

maintenance and mods are fine to do as needed, but i'd rather ride than wrench. for that matter i also prefer riding to shopping, even for bike bits. i wonder if HD sells a "shop til you drop" jacket, or a "shopaholic" chrome bit that people can drool over?

If I thought I could, trust me I would. Even thought about buying my own Tractor so I could put a Big *** sleeper on it and use the back half to carry the bike but I decided I can rent a hell of alot of bikes for the $200,000.00+ that a Tractor and Custom sleeper would cost.
