Default one mod leads to another doesn't it.

I wanted some wheels and tires for christmas, and had decided to paint my bike over the winter so I was scrounging up money to get some wheels and my wife surprises me early with em and a set of wildbills brackets. So its apart, then I think well the forks look terrible, so apart that all comes to get some chrome tubes,and then well I might as well lower the front with a 21 front,then I think how cool would it be to have stretched bags and about then Whitegold is selling some Klockwerks extensions for cheap, then I think these wheels need clear coating so off come the tires and to the powder coater they go, then I think these stock front rotors are not gonna look good with the new wheels so Jevon at Pickard is whipping up a pair for me, then I see a pic of a black painted inner fairing so apart comes all that what the heck its all gettin painted anyway, then jeese I really should swap bars after all I am right there how easy would it be now vs later so I get a set of Klockworks ergos in black.....I am sure I forgetting something but does it ever end! it sure is fun though.

I've heard there is a 12 step program to address your HD addiction.

I've also heard that your addiction can only be replaced by yet another addiction....My answer was to accept the addiction and ride it thru whatever life tossed at me.

I've rode my addiction thru 3 wives and all sorts of other distractions......My addiction attracks more possible wives and trashy women than I can deal with.....I've discovered rather than attempt to control my addiction to HD, to instead set my standards really high and allow only the best of what it attracks into my life.

It works for me.....Good luck to you.

Just when you think it does end, you open this forum and you're off again.

It's a never ending labor of love (and money).
