    Get my new '6' next week, oh no!

    As mentioned in an earlier post i ordered a new ;Matte silver'. Well the dealer rang me today and told me it arrives next Tues/Wens, great news!

    I don't think i have been quite as exited about a new bike in a lot of years after reading all of your views and reviews on this marvelous site.

    Problem is, i got very enthusiastic today and, with 'The wife and cat' in the same room, i delved deeper into the information availible on this forum but worse still i opened the attached Vendors sites [just for a browse] and the Goldwing accessories world [Murky at times, I've heard] opened up before me, slowly but surely.

    Sh**, i spent a little extra money on the bike when ordering, however as each vendors 'goodies site' opened and i thought, 'yep a little bit of that and a bit more of this', suddenly hundreds of extra dollars spent, however it got worse, i discovered 'Wingsworld' and with an icy stare from 'The wife' and 'The cat' both of whom promptly left the room i bought thousands of $$$$s of 'some more here' and 'some more there' suddenly I'm facing Bankruptcy,Divorce and Misery but I'm really looking forward to the delivery date's of all i bought.

    Heaven and hell!

    Am i sick, am i wrong, Am i alone in the world?

    Help, Jim

    I hate to be the one to break the news to you Mate, but purchasing the bike is the cheap part. NOW the real money spending begins!

    I'm known to be tight when it comes to mods. I'm around 2K on this one including jacket and helmets. I really haven't done much so be prepared!
