NOT....that is not nearly enough penance...I demand that you separate yourself from you love ones for at least a weekend only to be visited by jim beam and senor cohiba contemplating your evil deeds, preferably near a large body of water....after that you should be cured ...

Can you clarify what is meant by "loved ones" - does that include the bike?

I hear ya. I swore I would never have a bike painted or do anything other than a couple pieces of chrome here and there. Whatever... That hasn't worked out so well for me either. I see something I like from different setups and get ideas. I read this damn board and get even more ideas. My wife just shakes her head and says I need to win the lotto. weak. I am weak when it comes to my wife, daughter, and bike... Not necessarily in that order.

You're weak.......? Not sure what that makes me........

I haven't even picked up my 2012 FLHTK and I just talked with my dealer about installing the air cleaner, SE255 cams, and Slip-ons. The bike isn't gonna be shipped from the factory until 3/23........!!!

I also have a big bore kit on my '03 Heritage and a supercharger on my Vette. My new bike didn't have a chance at staying stock......

Hell, my wife points out more things and wants me to spend more money on the bike than I do. I keep trying to talk her into getting her own so she can leave mine alone!!!!

But you don't understand, we are supposed to be the upstanding generation that teaches the next generation values of prudence, care, priority.....

How are my children ever going to respect me when I argue that they don't NEED the latest PS3 DS HD Facebook twitter gadget

And that is only 300 bucks worth - a lot of money I agree but compared to what I am getting up to on the QT

By the way, you spelled "tyre" wrong. ha ha ha
