Default Which should I get first?

I found out from my boss that I'm getting a bonus this quarter (yeah!), so this time, it's going tomy bike (my last quarter bonus went to a new AR-15). My dilemma is I'm not sure which to get of the next big purchases. I want to get 18" wheels for my bike (05 EG Standard), but I also want to get a Tour Pak. I found a nice set of 18" wheels that are spoked with powder coated rims that I really like, and of course, I've looked at Hog Pro as well. The Tour Pak would come in handy too though, as I want to make several trips this year (extended weekends to San Diego, Vegas, and longer run up to Colorado Springs).

I can't decide what I would rather get first. Any suggestions from others?

Another vote for the Tour Pac .. the hooker won't be loyal and can't carry your stuff when you go on trips unless maybe your bonus is enough so she could follow in a large truck, then you would have the best of both worlds!! However, you may have a problem with your wife if you choose that route.

Get a used TourPac off ebay & spend the rest on the hooker.

Aren't choices 3 & 4 virtually the same, just less sex with 3?
