Default Well....its started!

I bought my first Piece of chrome for the Deuce on Saturday. Nothing much....just a chrome cover for the voltage regulator. But man, it looks sooo good! Can another piece of chrome be far behind? Let's see....yeah, those rear axle nut covers...gott'a have those! And, all those handle bar control chrome goodies...yeah!

I know..its a sickness. I need help.

Isn't 1/2 the fun personalizing the bikes? Cool!

Remember HD not only stands for Harley Davidson, but also Hundreds of Dollars, which is what we all end up spending on chrome. But hey, like the woman in the song...my favorite color is CHROME!!!!!

The more chrome you buy, the sickness only gets worse.

It seems like you buy all the cheap upgrades first then your stuck buying all the expensive stuff last. Thats when you know you have the sickness.
