Just go as you can afford it. Nothing wrong with a stock Harley until you are ready!

Know what you mean my brother. It comes in spirts with me, just got done paying down a card from
a mod frenzy 1 year ago. Was "Jonesing" for a year, had some buddies "talk me down" on several
ocassions, found myself making excuses to drive by the dealer, how sheepish I became. Then a few
weeks ago I saw Anubisss' bike up close (05 fatboy like mine) with all his beautiful chrome and PM
calipers, and that was it. Like a dope fiend's first day on the job at the new walgreens pharmacy, I caved
in. Racked the entire card up again with chrome front end, PM caliper, bolts, etc. Found myself salivating
every time I heard a UPS truck on my street. It never stops. Need to find a mod 12 step program right quick.

I can help you with that Salavation problem jfwarren. Just order a bunch of mods (black) for a 2000 night train and I will give you my address problem solved for both of us. Just keep the billing address to your place.

If you want them bad enough a second job would help.I know quite a few people that worked second jobs to get their kids through college but the new generation wants stuff but is to lazy to work for it.
