When I built the bike that you see in the picture back in '00 (that's year 2000, not 1900) I purposely thought through the project so that I would not be tempted to put shiny parts on her. It was expensive as it was without the added prices of all the neat shiny parts one can get for a H-D. Besides, that is what most folks do when they get a bike, trick it out with all the stuff they can find, so as to make their bike, their statement to the world. Which is OK, if you have the bucks.
And now, it starts over again. Do you realize how many shiny parts there are for a PETERBILT? Chrome appliques for the windows, headlights, door trim, around the oval emblem on each side of the hood, naked women profiles for the mud flaps!, yeah buddy, triple train horns, and on and on and on. Not to mention all the pretty lights! Geez Looeeeez. And I'm sure that every part will place an additional horse power or two to the load. Right.
Well, I've lived long enuff to know when just the right amount of shiny parts will make a statement and too much is overkill. Same goes for other areas as well. Take your health. Exercise, eat the right foods in the proper proportions, and getting enough sleep will maintain you for years. It's not a bad idea to add some supplements (shiny parts) that make up for some lack in your basic plan but you don't need all of them. Get with your doctor and nutricianist to map a plan just for you.
Have you ever seen one of these? Man I gotta have it for the truck!
