I understand. After my wife got home from work last night she was going through the mail. There must have been a Visa bill in there some where. She said "What the hell did you spend $500 on in the last month?" I had to remind her that it was the installation of the handlebars and turn signals that she bought me for my birthday. Whew!! Got away with that one. :-) I should have done the installs myself but haven't had time lately and was impatient to get them done so I could ride. She usually doesn't give my spending a thought but the price of gas and food have been killing us so I guess there's a little more "focus" on motorcycle accessory spending lately.

It's like Christmas when the UPS trucks shows up and there is a box on the porch.
