Default Hate my Harley!

Damn I hate my Street Glide. First it started with adding the iPod unit from Iron Cross, with the Biketronic's amp and speakers kit. Ok, I'm done nothing more required! Well this darn forum convinced me to purchase and install FM stainless steel head pipes. That's it I'm finished. Errrr, not so fast, gotta have FM 3.5" mufflers, next came the new windshield and 3 pocket windshield bag.

By now the better half is asking questions, hey a guy can only stretch the truth so far. Time for a new strategy, yup I'll start driving to get the stuff that way UPS stops coming to the house. I'm driving by Little Chute I'll just swing by and pickup a Power Vision with the air cleaner kit. That's it! I'm done!

Well today, I found a good deal on Dennis Kirk on a solo with a backrest along with a pillion. He'll might as well get the damn curved license plate. I need a new support group!

Burn the boxes,
mine has found them in the dumpster and I got busted.
1st time I tried the "it was at our $100 limit so I didn't mention it" but she got wise to that real quick.

LOL. I know the feeling! Been riding my '09 Street Glide stock. Joined the forum, and all hell broke loose. The support from the fellows here boosted my convidence. So now.....Chrome lowers, Ness Retro Boots, PC-V, 4" Rinehats, Fullsac X-Pipes, Flush axle, Gauge LED mod. etc, etc,

Love my Street Glide.....
HATE my support group!!! They cost me too damn much money!!!

If winter ehances spending, I'm glad we don't have 'em....I couldn't afford a winter!!!!

In all honesty, I think I'm almost done. Haha I said that before chrome wheels and this fat cat, but I think I kinda mean it now. I want 3 things from kuryakyn - master cylender chrome cover, brake caliper chrome covers, and spark plug chrome covers......

I want stretched bags, but don't think I'm gonna shell out the $$


+1 on custom dynamics BTW

Thumbs up

I am lucky to have a Wife who supports my Harley habit 100%.....

She just went out yesterday and ordered $350.00 worth of doo-dads to add to my bike from my indy shop for my birthday......

She called both my Daughters and told them what to order from Kutter's website for my bike.....

At Christmas, she will ask me to put together a $500.00 wish list for my bike for Santa to bring.....

And she rides with me too!

She is a Babe..... Pretty Hot for 57 years old..... And Legs to die for!

Here's a quick photo of her, and then my bike.....

Well she has stopped asking me when I will be done. I work overseas and she pretty much tells me now if that's what you want then order it.

I have also learne it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Once I learned that life as been alot easier.
