My name is Mike and I'm a Partaholic
 
My name is Mike. It's been 15 minutes since my last part purchase.

I can't seem to stop myself. I went 20 months spending on nothing but maintenance while I made extra payments on the loan. Now that I've paid it off early I've got no control. Performance, lighting, comfort, bling...I want it all. It'd be cheaper if I was just a drunk. Is there a 12 step plan for people with my problem? Do others suffer from this sickness? Will the neighbors think my wife (or worse me) is having an affair with the brown truck guy?

I buy a lot of stuff for my bike but I can quit any time I want to.

Now you're asking for the impossible. It only gets worse. When there is not one more thing you can possible add to the bike, it gets traded in for a clean slate...I mean the next bike.

It's a piece of cake to stop ... just let me finish this order and I'll explain.

I don't know what to tell ya.....just hope you have enough money for the other things in life. There are far worse addictions.

If there is a 12 step program don't let my old lady know. Working on the bike is the only peace I have.

I had the same disease after buying my 03 heritage springer. Chrome this, chrome that, add this, add that, change this change that. I finally decided that enough was enough and bought a new 09 Street Glide. Blacken this, blacken that, 107 this 107 that, there is no known cure. :icon_naughty::icon_naughty:
