I say right on...my bike money goes for gas, oil and tires. I've even given up the single malt and good beer (not all beer), just to ride more.

Deluxe is near perfect out of the gate, so you've got that going for you.

I wish I could say that. My bike has been "finished" more times than I can remember. Maybe I need to buy a Deluxe?

Funny how that just happens all of the sudden. I'm a truck driver in a business with a lot of down time. I use to stop in bike shops and go online buying all kinds of **** for the bike. I would look forward to getting home and putting it on.

That all just kind of stopped about 2 years ago. I can't remember the last time I bought something just for the sake of buying it. I did spend some money getting ready for the Hoka Hey but that don't count.

I'm parked less than 30 miles from a dealer that I've never been to right now but have no desire to drop my trailer and go over. I know they don't have anything accessory wise I would want, I don't need any riding gear, and I for sure am not interested and any of the new bikes.

I guess it's kinda like when you don't get chubby's anymore cept there isn't a pill to fix it. Not that I have that problem but I've heard about it on the radio.

Just taking a breather, or do you have more ideas in your head you're not acting on?
