I am definately more of the 'do-it-yourself' type of person. Buying upgrades is fun but for me nothing beats something you did yourself or taking something that was meant for a different role and making it work for you the way you want it to...
Now all I have do do is learn to weld, get some powder coating tools and a spare oven then improve my painting skills and...mwah haaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...oh sorry, did that slip out? <TWITCH>

Owning a Harley is like flying, once in your blood there is no turning back. I have a lot of "bolt on chrome" on mine, some safety stull like front and rear crash bars etc, but mostly goodies to hear people say "oh wow". That is the way it is.

I think it is addiction. I`m not a therapist but I know that. Or , I call it addiction because it`s easier to explain to others. People ask me - What is it all about? I say - don`t know, Im addicted to motorcycles. Stupid question - simple answer.
I`ve tried alcohol, drugs and motorcycles. Got addicted to mc`s only as I did not have enough spare time to play with A.and D.

Just a thought on the 'wet is wet' statement on riding with no front fender. Quite a few years ago I drove a friends chopper home from the bar when he had a few too many. There was a light drizzle going on but enough for a steady stream of rainwater mixed with oil, dirt, gasoline, anti freeze and whatever else putrid crap that hits the road to hit me square in the face. So don't tell me 'wet is wet' Yecchh
I stopped and tied a bandanna around the forks, but still!! Just say no to the 'Easy Rider Chopper' look.
