Default This Winter is Costing Me Big $$$

Being retired and kinda stuck indoors with this friggin snow, I'm spending way too much time on the computer which leads to ............What can I get for my bike next!
New Wheels & Tires, Corbin Dual Tourer, Hard Bags & Paint job, Combo Speedo/Tach, and other assorted Goodies.
The worst part is, I don't even get to ride the damn thing.
I'm just ranting. I gotta move south.

I'm right there with you. I am doing several winter mods and I can't stop. I am on a spiraling spending spree and i can't stop.

Maybe that retirement idea isn't all it's cracked up to be????

LOL. I'm sure you will find a solution.

South ain't no better this weekend! Snowing and roads are supposed to be iced over by in the morning. It only takes a couple of inches of snow to shut down the south, schools are already closed for tomorrow, and the roads will probably be closed by the early morning with the ice accumulations.
