Default Back in the saddle again

The old adage that goes something like if you don't want to tempted stay away from temptation, well it's true. Just went looking at Texas Harley in Bedford,TX not to buy just look and see. Hadn't been in a Harley shop in three years just wanted to see what improvements had been made. Well left with a 14 SG Special and in debt again but boy do I feel good.

Ha ha ha that's exactly what happened to me at Chesters Harley. Went in to look with absolutely no plans to buy whatsoever. Came home with a new bike.
