Funny you should call it a disease. Made me think of the day I got mine. As the salesman handed me the key after signing the papers he said "welcome to the sickness!"

I didn't get til I swapped my first part. And I have evryone here to blame (thank).

My wife thinks I'm nuts for always talking and looking at bikes. "hey babe look what this guy did, thats cool, no no look at this one, now thats cool; yes dear!"

Yeah it's not only this forum, it all of them. You read and look at pix, then go to the garage and start modding-them it's all over. I have always done some sort of mod's to all my cars and trucks.
