I went to buy furniture.....and ended up buying another Harley.....I still need furniture, tho.

Can anyone tell me how to convert a bike into a couch?

I want something I don't have to straddle when I'm in my underwear and wanna watch TV, ya know?....I wanna lean back and kinda doze with the remote in my hand like normal guys do....and just in case my babe wants to snuggle, I need something a little more accomodating........I think my problem is I don't feel at home in a furniture store but I do in a bike shop.

I'll post a pic of the new bike once 2nd ex wife gets off the only real computer in the house....It's an '07 Dyna Low Rider, and of course it's Pearl White like my other two.

I'm thinkin I need to take the 12 step program.

No addiction... I went to buy some food,  ended up with another guitar... I have close to 40... At least you still have room for a couch..I need to find furniture that fits under a piano, and between amps and a drumset... Some people have computer desks,  I use a hammond organ.

Look at this realistically, you finally have matured to a point that you can recognise you never had enough Harleys.

That's funny...no one has ever used the word "matured" when describing me.

Thanks my fellow addict, but you ain't helping with the cure.

Then this AM the washer decides to pee on the floor.....It's only 21 years old.....I'm thinking the rest of the house is starting to resent the bikes and wants them outside.

Cure for what ?  Cure for treating yourself ?  HECK.... You have plenty of bikes yet to purchase before you have to worry !!!  Can you afford the upkeep of your house ?  YES... Can you afford to eat ?  Yes,  can you pay your bills ?  SUre...

What addiction ???

Just curious why you aren't buying any off-road bikes ?

Keith, this is all very normal behaviour for the male human species... First off we are hunters.. You've come to the point in life where you've realized female humans are just dangerous prey.... So you've displaced the void with different objectives now... Hunting bikes is FAR more rewarding, in fact a MUCH better investment !!!


Think about this !   You are hunting within your means !

See,  I'm a crappy hunter,  I stick to low stake game like musical instruments, when most of my buds hoard guns..

You called females "prey".....I disagree!

They are in fact the "predator", and you are the prey.

Now you know why your buds hoard guns....think about it.

Hoards with guns? You just scared me..  LMAO

You are correct to be scared or at least well armed......Whenever any of my ex'es screamed "I missed you", she usually fired again.

See, things are different up here in Ct... I walk around naked with a sign on my back "All you can eat smorgasboard", and although I'm in a virtually helpless state, none of the predators run for the buffet.  What kind of preditor rolls up the windows, and locks car doors when the prey walks by them in a parking lot around super time ?


(you don't suppose the baits too small ?)

Hey Steve, no more self deprecating humor, people will think your a good guy! Oh, here's a tip from your uncle Rudy, don't walk around naked in cold weather, makes your bait shrim.......uhh shrink up!

Back to the topic now, man what is it about buying things we don't need that feels so good? I have a 720 resolution DLP projector in my house that throws a great 92" picture, well Mitsubishi just started selling a 1080 projector for 1499.00 after 500.00 rebate, that is CHEAP, not a stripped down model either. It will throw a 120" picture from the same distance as my old projector. It's killing me I want that thing so bad. Of course that will put back the plan I have of buying an almost new corvette, to replace the one I already have that there is not a damn thing wrong with.

Steve, my late older brother who passed in 98 and would have been 50 this year, was a professional musician, he had been playing lead guitar for over 30 years, if there was one thing I remember about him it was his never ending quest for that perfect tone. He was always telling me, man you got to hear this PRS or this old strat I found at this guitar shop in Austin he always frequented. I loved every minute of it.

Although I am not a musician, being around him and all the bands he was in taught me alot about music and how to sing better. David Kersch had his start with the band my brother played with before he passed. So you guys buy all the damn harleys and all the damn guitars you all want, if you aren't hurting anyone to heck with, life is short and we only get one go around! Excuse me, I think I am going to order new projector!

Wadda ya mean "replace" your Corvette with a new one?

No, no, no....Watch my lips: "You need two corvettes".....Repeat after me: "I need two corvettes."....Now nod your head and say, "I need two corvettes"

It goes without sayin that women only need one pair of shoes and one dress, but guys need several of every toy possible.....Oh, and TOOLS...We must also own every tool made.

  True.

Very sorry you lost your brother btw !


I agree totally with your above statement regarding acquisition of new "toys", or perhaps for the more pragmatic minded "tools".  While the typical "other side" of this GAS syndrome (acronym for Guitar Aquisition Syndrome)will state "how many of those things can you play" ? -the answer of course being many,  or the person (often a Significant other) might ask, "How many do you NEED" ?, the answer often is, Well, How about your_______ superfluous collection of _____ ?  Do you really need to collect THOSE ???

"But you can't take it with you"... Right, and the cash aint coming along either !!!

I need to come up with "The pack-rat defense"

I need two corvettes.....I need two corvettes........argh! Keith02, don't think I haven't thought about it, but I still like eating and having a roof over my head too much, or maybe........naah, lived off of ramen noodles before, got old quick!

Hey Steve, thanks, bro was a great guy, was an incredible musician who never had to demean other guiarists to make himself feel good. Always wanted people to play for him and was never a show off. He onced learned the complete album of Al Diemola's Elegant Gypsy just to improve his chops and get a new perspective on a different style music.

that is quite impressive !

   Every tool made by the following manufacturers. Cornwell, Mac, Snap-on, or Matco.

   (you know,  after spending thousands on Snap-on and Matco, only to have the handtools break as they did with SK, Craftsman, Husky, and the 3nd rate tool manufacturers, and the truck stop coming around... I'm starting to think if it's chrome Vanadium, even no big name... it's  a better shaft more durable tool in general...  Craftsman has the lifetime warantee anyway.. I got tired of mailing stuff back to Wisconson after the Snap-On truck decided to change his route)

I think for smaller screwdrivers I'm going to go with WiHa, or Klein/Vaco..  They make really nice tools that are chrome vanadium...

The first step to curing an addiction is admitting you have a problem so you're on the right track.

Dealing with it, however, is another matter entirely.  In the meantime get as much/many as ya can to help the withdrawal symptoms when you're ready to stop  :drunk:  :drunk:  :drunk:
