I swore no more mods to the S3. But The Redhead's drivin' me crazy with this house-buyin' stuff (how many houses do you really need to look at? Does it have a two-car - i.e., five motorcycle - garage? Fine - I don't care about the rest). The band's been stupid busy, which has been good for cash flow, but bad for track time (which is what I would rather spend my money on) and even RAT rides (there's a great one this Saturday to St. Augustine for a "history of the motorcycle" thing, but the band's playin' and I'll be gettin' to bed about the time they are leavin' town).
So I'm thinkin' it's time for the Man Version of retail therapy. Got a few things planned, some cosmetic, some performance, nothing major. But it'll keep my mind off of flooring options and window treatments.

I feel ya man, I reckon that's why I can't own more than one bike at a time. It seems like the mod'n is never done, and once it is... then I reckon it's time to git a new bike. :-D As fer ol' yeller... she's due fer a tuning session next weekend. :-D I can't freak'n wait. Maybe, after that, it will be time fer some more bling. :wink: :-D God have mercy on my wallet! :hammer:

I thought I was pretty much done then Old Squid came along with his Duranni wheel group buy which was hard to pass up. Well, that meant getting some Braking Wave rotors for the new wheels. Then Devi came up the the Ohlins shock deal so I did that too. I still need to get some tires for the wheels. Good thing I picked up some consulting jobs on the side. Definitely doing my part for the economy!

I've had mine 6 years, and don't think I'll ever truly be done modding.

Nothin' too dramatic. If'n I was rich like Cheep, I'd get a Tuneboy an' have my own personal tuner an' all, but since my house still has wheels and a hitch onnit, I gotta make the most outta a little. A few things to make it work better, a few things to make it look better. A few things to make it scoot better.
The Redhead's goin' outta town first week o' June. I figure if I can gather all the bits together, it'll make a good project to keep me outta trouble while she's away.
