What is a Pack Rat???

    Riding season for some of you, is coming when the snow melts. It is always Riding Weather in AZ (Don't Hate). Here I sit watching the ol lady go through 9 10x20 storage units full of Harley Parts wondering where the hell all of this shit came from. AM I a Harley Part Pack Rat? Do I need a TV show that offers Harley Hoarding Intervention? All I do know is that I have an ass grip of Pan, Shovel, Knuckle, Sportster and every other Harley part that I will never again use.If you need something for your sled, hit me up & lets see if I can help you out!!!

    Don't feel bad man.  I don't throw away any take off parts from any of my bikes, or my friends bikes for that matter.  I even see stuff in my friends garage and ask "you gonna throw that away" and if they say yes, I take it.  And its not just motorcycles either.  Before I toss anything (vacuum cleaner, clock, blender, etc)  I take the cord, buttons, switches, motors, screws and anything else I just may need one day.

    there is no such thing as junk, just stuff waiting to be reallocated to a new use!

    LOL don't even get me started on the crap that one sees in their ride that they just have to have. If this was a court of law, I would be guilty of picking up other peoples broken ass things because..."I just had to have it". Have a great evening!

    I got a 15X30 garage so full I can not get in it. All I can do is get the sporty out of it. Plumbing, furniture insulation, electrical, tools etc. I was thinkin the other day I need to have a Garage sale...

    Got a pretty full garage myself. Once a year or so I get all motivated to go out and clean it. I move everything to the driveway, get a big trash can and start going through stuff. I normally come up with a reason to keep just about everything. Then about half way through I wonder why I dragged all this stuff out to the driveway and put it all back.
