Default Flashback to childhood

One of the best things about owning a Harley is the feeling you get while you're waiting for a new accessory to be delivered or a part to be installed at your dealer. It's the same feeling you had when you were a 10-year-old kid two days before Christmas. I find myself envisioning what it will look like on my bike or how much better it will perform after it's installed. As they say, if I had to expain it you wouldn't understand it.

We never grow up, we just get more expensive toys.
