this has happened to me 3 times in the last year and a half, 1st time a guy on a star asked what i was riding, said a harley, he sayes what did that runya, about 20 grand? i was on a sportster at the time. then i get a new street bob , 1st comment i get on it was " soon as i get an extra 20 grand im gonna get me one of those'.{2nd comment i got on it was isnt that a sportster} then a financial adviser [ not mine] said im glad to see you got 20 grand to spend in this recesion. i dont think this is a good thing cause new riders wont even look at harleys, has anyone else had a similer experience?

 

tell them to mind their business.

 

When I hear that I tell them that 20k wouldnt pay for the motor..

 

sounds like the people you've bumped into are clueless about Harleys (maybe even about bikes in general)

 

by the time you figure in the interest and all the extras that get added, well...........

 

people say the same thing about my wife. I just say, it's a fun ride and you get what you pay for. Nevertheless, 20K is a good estimate.

 

Interest, What interest? Recession ,What recession?

 

Proud to have spent less then $10k (until the pipes go on) so far. Of course it is a Sporty.

 

Exactly... Fuggem.

 

I wish they were that cheap! LOL
