It will slow down as some point. Especially, when you bought everything in the HD catalog. But, it does help if you start spending all your money on a new street rod build.

As Spike Milligan once said "open your wallet and say after me - help yourself".

The biggest hurdle is reaching the point when it no longer matters. After that its plain sailing....

After you put the first piece on you realize there's a spot next to it that needs attention too. By the time you make it around where you started you can drop 10k easy.

Hey, it ain't over even after you go twice round it and can't find anything else to mod. If you are like me you park that one and go buy another to start on...i'm presently midway thru mods on my 3rd Hd. the other 2 are sitting on their battery tenders getting jealous. They are all dolled up but feeling insecure and unattractive now that I brought home the new bitch. She's in the house sitting on the jack surrounded by tools, boxes and parts and they are out in the dark/cold shop.

I mentioned getting close to being done with this particular bike the other day. I was laughed out of the shop I was visiting at the time.

See, I think that's what happened to me. I stopped spending money on my hotrod.

For you guys who think you ran out of mods, trash the HD accessory catalog and get yourself THE FATBOOK from Drag Specialties and leave it in the bathroom.

Place it on your lap when you crap and leave it there till your legs go to sleep.....Then limp to the phone and place your order before the blood rushes back to your brain. If you do it right, the stuff shows up in about a week and you can honestly claim you don't remember ordering it.
