Yeah, it's a sickness alright. It just begins when you buy the bike. Then there's all the chrome doo-daa's and sparkly farkels that need added. Next comes the required Stage 1 upgrade that'll just whet your whistle for Stages 2, 3 and 4. When you get it just right you'll eye a newer model that you talk yourself into believing you can't live without. And starts all over again. It's an endless cycle with known cure.

Yeah.....That's what my screen name is named after Harley Distraction Disorder. The pic is of my 8 y.o. Joseph (I think he shares the illness). No known cure!

The new bike is just the down payment for the accessories!

Default I Think I'm Done For Now!

I told myself that I wouldn't do any more mods untill my last round of purchases was installed. I have a box of tourpak hinges sitting on a shelf over my desk at home. It will be a relatively EZ mod and after that I'm thru for the winter!

Oops! Just remembered. IMS show at the Javits center is in 2 weeks.

There is a 2012 RG cvo that has been haunting my dreams. My wife thinks I'm nuts that my FLTRX is no longer cutting it! I think she wants me committed.
