Default I just fell for the oldest trick in the book.

Took my bike in for a 20K service. Left the shop and the gears were slipping. Took it back and 3 hours later they said it needs a clutch hub. Not sure what that is, but it's under warranty and it's going to take about 5 days to get the part. The dealer was nice enough to give me a motor to take home for my troubles at no cost to me. I ride a Road Glide Ultra, which I really like, I figured I'd see what all of the fuss is about a Batwing. So, I took a Limited from their Rentals.

I've gone about 200 miles so far and Damn!!!! I really really love this bike and find myself thinking about a trade. Nice move Mr. Dealer! Nice Move!

When I saw "oldest trick in the book" I thought of "bend over I got something to show ya". Then I saw you took your bike to the dealer for service...

Still works tho.

And grats on the new ride. Might be a little early...

Post pictures when you can.

I could see trading in a RG for anything. Are you going to try and do it? Are you going to ask them to pull your finger?

This is why I get mine serviced at an Indy shop...no new or rentals to buy.

Your dealer knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
