Default Bike and this forum pissing me off

Everytime I think I'm about done with the bike for a while, I read about something on this forum that I just "have to have." This puts me in a quandry. I used to mod the stuffing out of my vette, now it sits in the garage and gets driven during sand storms and days that I have too much stuff to get to work for the bike, and I can't get Kelly to help me out 'cuz she's doing something else.

Problem is, I refuse to go into debt for THINGS, and I want it all NOW.

My list of stuff for the bike is never-ending...

Tour Pack, backrest for me, Rhineharts, GPS (this is new after reading about them in the touring section), chrome engine kit (for Skip), 95" kit, cams, port and polish, custom paint job...

It's not going to end anytime soon. I figure when I get it all, the bike will be totally paid off, and I'll want a second one.[:@]

Man, that was close Mac. When I saw the thread about this forum pissing you off, I thought that we were going to have to pull this post. I guess that we will let you get pissed off and vent a little. It's a free country, isn't it?

Yup, that's why I like it. The earlier post about Getting a Ticket pulled me in and I thought that it was great.

I noticed that you mentioned a custom paint job, I was curious if you already had a color in mind and what it was? Thanks

I think that ghost flames are cool, at least on the bikes that I have seen. That white FB that I saw at the HD shop had ghost flames on it and I sure liked it.

Geez Mac, That's an easy one, sell the vette, buy a toyota and you can do all the mods at once!
