Does anyone know if there is a twelve step program to fight accessorism?

It started out slow.....just a backrest. Then it became bar risers. I couldn't stop there either. A luggage rack, engine guards, highway pegs, cup holder....I can no longer control myself. I find myself thinking of my next fix, but it won't be enough either. I have just enough self-restraint to at least limit myself to those accessories I deem necessary for comfort or functionality. But I think I'm slipping. I dream of chrome just for chrome's sake.

I look around the forum, and I see that I'm not the only one suffering from this illness. What is it about motorcycles that we become so pasionate about them? I think we need group therapy.

I started with a gel seat, then a backrest, luggage rack, freeway bars, passenger floorboards, soft luggage, chrome strebel horn. It just goes on and on, I have no self control either. Lets start that 12 step Program. Accessoholics Anonymous. "Hi I'm Pete and I'm an Accessoholic", would that be the way the meeting starts? Oh well I need more chrome and bling of any kind. I can't stop now.

Any questions?

I started the same way. 1st the gel seat, then Phat II's, Then the overdrive sprocket. plus I had to have the Hyway bars/crash bars. Then I noticed I had 3 coffee cup holders and NO GPS! (Yes I stop a lot!)
Oh the shame of it all.

I can come back up, help you load it back on the truck, and we can go for a 2-up "ride" around the valley in your truck with the Harley in the back to give it some fresh air.... kinda like a puppy hanging it's head out the window :biggrin:

 

[anrfknm]

that's funny rich, mean, but funny.

 

[DS06Nomad]

Guilty as well!!! Here's some absurd rationalization, maybe we can chew on this for a while:

Motorcycles are our home away from homes. So, since a house always needs "something" done to it (a fix here, an improvement there, etc), so do motorcycles.

How's that sound? Probably as weak as the rest of the "reasons" we obsess over our beloved bikes... Hey, maybe that's it. Because we love our beloved bikes???

Oh hell, who knows why we become accessorholics...but there's certainly worse things to become addicted to.
