Default Something wrong with me?

So every year for birthdays and Christmas my friends and family get me piles of H-D garb, T-shirts, stuff for the man-room walls ect. Which is cool and I appreciate it. Well this past Christmas the guys that work for me went together and gave me a $200 gift certificate to one of the local dealerships, here's where my problem comes in. I go to the dealership, certificate in hand and can't find anything I want or need! Is there something wrong with me? It's not that tough to spend 2 bills at a dealership. Do I need to start logging in as Crazy-1.

Your're looking in the wrong department, get out of clothing, and go to the service window.
Spend it on a case of oil, some extra filters, gaskets, and O rings.
Maybe one of those low profile oil pans, I really like mine.
Oil filter wrench, gas tank overlay to protect the tank when servicing the bike.
I would think of something service related, you can always use another tool.
Buy some consumables, bike polish, cleaning supplies, etc

Sounds like you already have everything the shop has to offer. Buy a new bike and start over.

$200 at a HD dealer? Should be able to get a set of crush washers for that.
