Red face Northener's Winters Cost me $$$$

For the past few years of membership on this forum, both as a Sportster (wife's and mine) owner and now as a Touring (mine) and Softail (wife's) owner this forum has cost me lots of money every winter.

Living in South Texas we can ride almost year round. But every winter you northern state riders post all these neat "winter mods" you're doing while you can't ride and it gets my brain to spinning.

This year has to be my most costly winter. Since the end of December I have added the HDPDPLUS II iPod controller, HogPro 21/18 6 Pack wheels and rotors, lowering Progressive Monotubes, CVO Style bags, Cycle Sounds 6X9 speaker lids, SoundStream 4.520d amp, 6 Polk audio speakers and an extended rear fender piece.

Oh, and then there's the SpeedBleeders, Stainless brake caliper hardware and new brake pads.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, "my name is The Q and I'm an addict"

I posted pictures of the wheels last month. Here are some pictures of the latest additions.

Looks good and I bet it sounds even better!

What brand of license plate holder is that? I need one before the snow melts!

@ MikeB_30: Y'all have one heck of a winter and my wallet feels it. Enough with the revenge.

@ mrfuji: So thankful I don't have to worry about shoveling the driveway.

@ Roger That: I have learned it's never done. Just when you tell yourself that something else either comes out or you just need a change. And I'm 1/2 way to the new exhaust. I bought some CVO mufflers the other day. Just have to work some overtime to buy the header.

@ MikeTD3: Thanks, the sound is awesome. The plate holder is a Kuryakyn curved plate holder.
