I'm out. Never thought I see the day, but I'm out of small pistol primers.

I have 10,000 of the buggers on backorder since April and there are none to be found anywhere in central NC. Perry's in Wendell has been out since March. Crazy!

So, I'm thinkin' of quittin' firearms and finding a new hobby, maybe motorcycles. Whaddya think?

Well....sometimes change is good...but I gotta warn ya...Harleys are often referred to as HD....HD means Hundred Dollars.....in other words everytime you are putting something new or doing a repair....$100 or more.

I have a Harley....it is a good stress reliever although I don't ride as much as I used to.

So....whatcha putting on the chopping block? I got first dibs...LOL

I think you are not looking in the right places for your supplies.

I have been able to get supplies most anytime I wanted them during this latest component crunch.

If you really want primers, you can find them....yes, they are more expensive than in past years and Hazmat shipping adds to the cost but I was still able to get what I needed.
Most I paid was $42.00 per 1000 but again, that shipping adds to the price.

Look around, look at the small hole in the wall shops, sometimes they have what you need.

You know what I found out? I own a suzuki and accessories for it are just as expensive! I'm gonna have a hard time swallowing over 200 bucks for a simple sissy bar or saddle bags.

Hell, the chrome license plate frame I got cost me 50 bucks!

You are up early.

Aren't Buells just Harley wanna-be's?

Oh, you goin' to the show on Saturday? I need to look for some primers.
I would need to find someone to sit with Ashley, I'm going to try and get there. And now that we are light a paycheck I'm really watching the money. Although, when I met with the lawyer the other day he seemed down right giddy.

I think if you wanna be part of a crowd, yes. If you want to enjoy your ride, and not spend so much in a garage, get a GoldWing.
Or a Yamaha, or a Suzuki, or anything else that's not the "in" thing for the yuppies (not referring to all HD owners, just making a broad general stereotype)

My $6k Yammi does everything that a $20k HD can do.
