+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.

Yup parked her under a tree, spread out a blanket and looked at the chrome shining in the moonlight. Still brings a tear to my eye...

My wife said I would chrome her if I could.

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?

Naw!!!
