They are not printing Richard's first two anymore but you can get them used through the major book sellers.
Very good! Thanks, I'll check out those books. We have long cold winters up here and a good book can be a cure for cabin fever!

At least I don't have to add new exhaust, she came new with screaming eagle slip ons! They're almost loud enough and will work for me!

I guess I'm addicted to air cooled HD's. You didn't see a Vrod in there anywhere.

I found the cure... my check card. Would you believe that bank had the nerve to decline my purchases... dont they know us addicts need our fix.... the nerve.

Oh wait, now these people want their money back??? They give you this stuff then want to take it back. How rude is that...

There's no end to the tinkering with these bikes. It's just fun and passion increases rather than decreases.

Congrats on your new bike btw...

Hi Angie,

HD stands for "Hundred Dollars" It will slow after the first $2500 - $3000 of add ons, but it wont ever stop. Welcome to the club!!

I constantly find myself needing more add ons. You know your an addict when you replace add ons with different add ons.

Hi, I'm George and I am an addict.....Welcome and grats on your HD. There is no cure, just fix after fix.

Question? Do you know all the salesman, counter help, wrenches, and finance guys/gals at your dealer on a first name basis yet? If not, then there may be a chance you are not beyond help, but if you do invest in a good therapist ) I will see you there, already have an appointment!!

Ride safe.

Welcome Angie. I am glad I didn't buy a CVO bike or I would end up having $50K in a bike. Just can't seem to end wanting something else for the scoot. Definitely an addiction.

and therein lies the problem, your pipes are almost loud enough. To make them loud enough you are going to have to change something and then it never ends. After 35 years I am still not cured and now that I think about it, I don't want to be.
