Winters are expensive. I'm sure I'd spend way less money if I lived in a warm climate. And I'd get to ride twice as much.

Totally agree. The longer the winter, the more money goes to upgrades.

Damn if that isn't the truth, next winter is paint.... I like the motor as it is so that would be about the last of it. Knowing my luck they'll bring back the RG the ONLY Bike I'll move off of my Ultra for.

Caught the same bug. New paint, intake, exhaust, apes, controls, brake lines, clutch cable, suspension upgrade, numerous other doodads. Calender says spring, but snow and salt is still here. Want to keep upgrading but I'm broke. HD sure knows how to clean out a fella's wallet.

Damn, is that what happens when you have too much to drink and your bike won't start?
