Default Finally got my 1st Harley!

Thought I had the deal done last week, but some wacko dude in Lake Havasu City didn't want a cashiers check and after we made the deal, he re****ed and called me a spammer/scammer and every word in the book because he didn't want my cashiers check even though he verified it through my C.U. I think he was the scammer, but I digress.

Finally I searched closer to home and got the deal done today! He wanted 14K which was about a grand more than the lending value, but I got it for 12K and he threw in a brand new front tire and the existing tire has at least a season left on it. He thought that it was a bare bones Ultra (as if). It had a lot of extras on it that he didn't know and I didn't want to take advantage of him, but he was more than happy with the deal. A big win on both sides. We're meeting at the C.U. tomorrow and I get to ride my sweet Ultra back home where she belongs.

The wife will really appreciate the comfort after our last poker run on the back of a Vulcan! It's so good to finally join the HD crowd!

Congrats, man. Be careful with only changing one tire at a time, though. Different tread patterns on the front and rear is recipe for disaster.

Bare bones? There's more buttons on that wing than my Tahoe and it's loaded.

Congrats man, hope it treats you well.
