No offense to the OP but there are tons of people around the world that have no food, or are sick in a bed with no hope or dying a very slow death etc etc etc and we can't sleep at night because of stuff we can or can not afford to put on a motorcycle. I happen to know a few people like that. Wow, I think we have too much abundance.
ok bible thumper cool down. grab a snake and see if it bites you.... the man has money to buy a bike and you wanna blast him. who the heck are you to pass judgemnet.

$4500 in mods? I've invested less than $1K in my 2007 Street Glide since it was new.
The FLHTK is a touring bike. Just buy the thing and ride it. Long trips are much more memorable than mods.

Right on. I read somewhere that the average annual mileage of a Harley Touring bike is 1,500.

read the OP again... he increased his payments $50 and added 2 years to his load... he does not have the money to buy a bike - only the ability to get a loan.
the title of this post should be "pulled the trigger, then sucked the bullet back into the barrel"

I would think returning a bike to the dealer would be almost as hard as the the physical act described in the metaphor.

Wow...way to be a "Debbie Downer." No need to blame OP for world's financial woes...he simply posted an example of personal reflection and change of mind. Sure you never experienced something similar...
