Sweet!! Can't wait to see that seat. I remember having my bike in pieces the day after I brought it home. I had part's all over my driveway and my neighbor came over and said " You just couldn't wait could you".

Folks..... I have a problem,
AND IT HURTS SOOOO GOOD!

Hi, my name is Pat....
and I'm a Bonnie' spendo-holic.

It was only last week that I approved $300.00 toward purchase of goodies at BellaCorse, and mere moments ago that I clicked onto "PAY" for $400.00 worth of goodies at newBonneville.com.
(I just signed the settlement from a red light runner two years ago)

The only big ticket items included the BellMouth wannabe "velocity stack" intake, and some Rentec engine bars. The rest of the $350.00 was for incidentals that add up (QUICKLY!).

Yes...... it's naughty, its' expensive, but what's a guy gonna do when overcome with the feeling to show the Bonnie' a little love......?
:-D

Pat, I feel your pain brother! I'm sitting here contemplating "whats next"!

Welcome TC -

Reading your post, reminded me of what we all share here.

And since there are so many "Bonnie Come Lately's" (that's a good thing) I thought I'd resurrect a little ditty from the past for y'all... seems appropriate:

12 Steps ....

Follow the link and welcome cause we're all friends of John B. here

Cheers, Cyn-

P.S. -
I've recently conquered a relapse of extended spending, the results can be found in my album:

I wanted to take pix today. However, I woke up to 2" of snow on the ground! Could somebody tell me what I'm doing living in the Northeast? :???:

TC88, are you intentionally trying to mislead us with this "completed" thing? Partially, Ok...substantially, perhaps...but completed?

:-D
