The first sign I hear my OL says she needs somethin at the store...I'm heading for the garage. When I ride over to the beer and wine store (the closest one is a few blocks) I always head out to the one out of town and it could take me a few hours to make the trip.
+1...And the nearest store to us is 10 miles away, with lots of "alternate routes". I've even been known to purposely forget something on the list so I have to go back. Silly me.
My name is Regis and I am an addict. I display many of the symptoms described including just going out to the garage to look at the Harley, admiring it's fine lines and svelte looks, while it sits there quietly (but really begging me to ride, deep inside it's V-Twin soul).
I have never been bored on the bike. Every time I sit on it, the adrenaline level goes up, as I never know what kind of adventure (or misadventure) awaits me. The twisted-throttle cure should always be preceded by the ceremony of bringing the beast to life.
Last weekend at my lil' bro's house, we had a few beers and admired his black 2000 Super Glide Sport (FXDX) and I've gotta admit, that's one 'gunfighter looking' bike. We started it just for giggles and watched it run, front wheel shaking, mirrors dancing and that sound only a Harley makes.
Ive had friends come over in the winter and find me up in the barn kicked back on the Ultra listening to some rock n roll on the Harleys radio. had some ask me what the **** you doing, but those who ride just ask man me where ya at!!!!
its the ol saying if ya gotta ask you wouldnt understand....
I like to ride all day and when I've had my fill sit in the garage and drink a coupl'a beers. Counting the shovel we're putting together and the two chopped minni-bikes there are 7 scoots in there. Think I have a problem?
