It's ...... a curse.
I try and ride away from the direction of the HD stealer, but the bike heads there by itself it seems.
The 2011 fatbook is on the kitchen counter by the phone- we do not have a phone book to speak of.
With the past help of forum reading, I found that I could indeed somehow justify my having added over 5K to my past ride a 2007 flstf.
Having just bought my new RKC- it did not leave the dealer stock, never heard it without the V&H power duals and Monster rounds LOL

LED lights come to mind, a new speedometer tach combo.... oh well.

Everything's getting expensive.....
I just paid more for a tank of gas than I paid for a keg of beer...

LOL that is not normal. madrid is a cold place full of snow during winters and really hot during summer. we say if you can live in madrid you can live anywhere in the world, right now we are under some sahara desert extremly hot winds so this week temps are like in june.

you can always move to key west and have best of 2 worlds... ;-)

+1 on that one. I call my bike my stress clinic.

With all the talk on the <$100 thread about the Harley Goodies floorboard extensions, I had to order a set today.

My wife keeps telling people I have something from Fedex or UPS coming every day.

Saw a guy standing off in a corner at a bike show awhile back.
So I go up to him and ask. Hay man, got any chrome, I need some chrome,
come on give me the chrome, I need it.
OH THE HUMANITY!!!

My wife asked me "what do you want for your birthday?" "I said where do I start?" "She replied you have everything you wanted for the bike" I laughed and said "for last year, this is a new year"....I have a new list

I'm getting a new piggy bank and then everytime I thing I need to put new crap on my bike, I'll put the money in the bank instead. I'll see how long it takes to get a second bike (VRod Muscle). Then when I wake up in the morning I can have a choice to cruise or to play.
