Oh yeah. My girlfriend went to visit her family and I spent all of my spare time for the whole week working on my motorcycle or my brick. Lets see, in the past week I have installed a tach, a voltmeter, an external air temp meter, clear headlights, licence plate bracket, a few switches that I don't have uses for yet (that will be next weekend), and some nice felt kickboards all courtesy of the local salvage yard.

IPD has more of my money than I care to admit, but my brick handles like I never new she could, and everything works. Well, except for the airconditioning that I yanked out and bypassed using $3 worth of nuts and bolts from the hardware store.

I even installed LEDs for overhead lighting and glove compartment lighting. Did you know those draw 1/15 the power? If I left my overhead light on it would take 15 days to kill the battery instead of the 1 day that it usually takes.

It all started from a leaky head gasket that needed to be replaced a few years ago. After that job, I wasn't afraid of anything and with that much love poured in, I just could tinkering.
