    Infected with the hotrod disease

    You see that hotrod part you can't live without...........

    Maybe a crank, transmission, head or even a set of cases and you just have to own them. But you already have 3 of them under your work bench and you'll go to your grave knowing you'll never use them.

    Now I know how the wife feels when she's in a shoe store

          I don't believe there is any cure for the hot rod disease. But I have heard the though the application of a slow gatthering of parts can you supp side the disease and keep from going completely insane.

            What did you buy now? Or do you just have your eyes on something?

            I heard on the news that they had isolated it to the be caused by a mutated gene in the Y chromosome. Bottom line, it's not your fault....

                            Definite cure for that part of the disease - put your helmet on, throw your leg over the seat and start the engine.

                            Head out on the highway................ you know the rest.
