Talking Update!

Pulled the trigger on the pipes today. I'm going with the Bub TDX headpipe and Rinehart 4" mufflers. If I'm right it'll make good power and have a deep rumble. If I'm wrong, well it sure won't be the last time!!! I figure if the Bub 7 true duals that I had on the previous bike made decent power then the true dual with a crossover should be a little better. I also got to meet the previous owner tonight. He's a really cool guy! I don't think he's missing out on much. His new bike is the 2012 CVO RG in candy cobalt blue. Man that thing looks sweet!!! Sorry guys. I know I'm slacking on the pictures but I know what a tough audience you all can be so I don't figure that pictures with a messy garage and a JD garden tractor in the background are gonna get it!

If the question is, should you reduce your savings to have something you really want...? If it's not depriving anyone else of anything they require, the question would then seem to be...if you died tomorrow, what would have been of more worth to you? The extra savings. Or the experience of owning/riding this bike? (You can tell what I'd choose).
