If I'm not out riding, I'm standing in the garage staring at The Cure (my bike)...if I'm not doing either of those I'm sitting on the couch with my iPad surfing these forums. I think I have a problem.....

The first sign that you have a problem is naming your bike.

The best solution is to quit cold turkey ASAP. PM me your address and I'll be down to get the bike.

See.... I did it again. It's pouring rain, tornado warnings out.... So I went out, looked at it, noticed that the front pipe was starting to melt the stock reflector on the downtube...ripped them off, cleaned up the glue residue.....now I'm back on this damned website.

I'm doomed.

I don't view it as a problem, it's just merely the norm. Glad I am not the only one.

I feel ya. Sometimes when the bike is just sitting in the garage all alone next to the wife's ride and the four wheelers...yes, all alone...well...sometimes it becomes a good drinking buddy.
