I had a friend come over and I was showing him the changes/upgrades I have made. As I was going over the bike I came to the conclusion, rather startlingly, that I have spent a lot of money without realizing it. Oh well

As you see from the responses here you are not alone

I personally have slowed down to spending in $350 increments. Would that help? Sometimes it's $750....but those are rare occasions. I "almost" have my bike where I want it. LOL. I'm sure I will continue to upgrade it over the years, but have concluded it's a keeper so any upgrades are less expensive than buying a new one. I need to learn to filter some upgrades over to my Bandit.

In my case it was my "X" who drained my savings. Which is why he is the "X"

I just brought another old non running (ran the next day, though ) bike. My grudge is now stuffed with bikes and parts, have to move 3 or 4 out in the drive to work on one. Sugar daddies have to have money left over, 'fraid I ain't qualified. Kind of old, too, young and purty gals don't look my way much anymore...

Boxer? That cast iron cylinder antique design was made in Siberia.
It's a 98, but hasn't changed a whole lot in over 50 years.

I've seen pics of the factory blue instead of black paint scheme, like it, but I don't think I could ever paint over the nose art...

I hope to post pics soon of my accomplishments or my injuries....I have temporarily sworn off any new stuff. We shall see how long that lasts.
No problem, if it would help you any, I can send you a PM with my address and you can send me your debit card and I will take care of it for you.
