Just me - wow, you paid just $24K for yours. Man, I paid $5K less than that for mine. And, I bet someone else will come along and say they paid less than me.
Actually, I have a 2014 limited and when all aid and done with the extra stuff I put on plus the ESP (total of 7 years) it cost me just shy of $35K.
The reason I pointed this out is - I was happy to see that his bike is paid off and he is enjoying himself. Why can't we be happy for him instead of sharing that you paid less.
Besides - his is in NC and probably still riding-while we are in Michigan and about to put our bikes in storage.

Who cares how much he paid for his bike? It was his money not mine. Congrats on having a paid off ride and enjoy the heck out of it. Why does people have to try and bust someones bubble when they post something good?

$.98 per mile/smile is a good deal. (Heck, can you even put a price on it?)
I remember the day(s) I got my '08 and '05 titles in the mail. Couple of the happier days I've ever had. So happy in fact, that I went out and celebrated by trading them both in on a new payment ('17 FLHTCU).

Thanks I appreciated your sentiments. I knew after I posted this that someone(s) would come along with their ridicule. It ALWAYS happens on these forums. Sheesh!

This morning I made the LAST payment on my '14 Limited. FINALLY it's paid off. It's the most I've ever spent on a motorcycle. But no regrets. It's been a great bike. As of today I have 34,964 miles on it. My total cost of financing (principle and interest) was $34,267.64. So, not counting fuel and regular maintenance, that amounts to about $0.98 per smile/mile. Pretty cheap entertainment. Oh btw to the naysayers my payoff was good through 11/04.
BTW...the ESP was included in that cost. But hey, who's counting? Oh yeah a few would a find fault with that.
