Default I'm cured.........maybe

Went into the Harley shop yesterday because they are having some sales on HD clothing (some 50% off) and I was killing some time before I had to go somewhere else. Looked at everything on sale and then wandered around looking at new and used bikes. I left the store without buying ANYTHING! I don't know if this means I am cured or I was just feeling cheap but, it sure feels great to tell this story and my wife is very proud of me.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I've walked out of the dealer many times without buying anything, but I still buy when I see something I want and have the cash. Don't get too excited, its just a temporary remission....you still have the disease

This very forum will attack you, your wallet is the target.
Bike wants to go faster, more power, more bling...
A bargain now would break the ice...
Old stock 50% off didn't work...
Maybe something brand new...

Maybe its me but I used to always buy something but I find that the prices have creeped up to the point that I really want to have something to buy it. Example I used to buy a Long Sleeve t-shirt every time I went into the shop for $26 -$29 but now The regular Long Sleeve T-shirts are $43.95. Just a bit too pricey for me. I know everything is going up but the price of parts and clothes have really skyrocketed... At $26 for a long sleeve t I'd buy them all the time for $43.95 . I have to just say no...lol

OK... Two things I got from this, If you take the left without buying ANYTHING! ANYTHING is all capitol letters, that added to the part where you wandered around looking at new and used bikes, I could be wrong but I think that means you want one of those blacked out dynas, a used one.
