How did you get your Dyna
I had just shelled out 500+ to get the carbs cleaned on my Honda Sabre after I had spent time taking them apart myself with no luck of getting it running properly. It was the second time in 3 years I had to spend that much on that one thing. Harley was having a huge test ride event here in New Orleans. I went with the intention of not buying a bike and just seeing how it rode. I went in an asked about the Street Bob and they told me that it wasn't part of the models they were letting the public ride that day. I told them that as stupid and if he wanted to sell a bike than he would let me ride one. They pulled one off the showroom floor and I rode it and loved it. I then told him that I only wanted to pay under 250 a month and he said that was impossible so I told the finance guy that if he wanted to sell me a bike he would make it happen.
I rode in on my Sabre and left with my Street Bob that day.

My father-in-law gave me his 07 FXD. He bought it new for his birthday in July 2007 and rode sporadically for a few years. It got to where the bike sat much more than it was riden and he decided to sell it. I don't think his heart was truly into the selling idea as he wasn't a very motivated seller. So, one day he and my mother-in-law made the choice to give it to me. He said it was what he really wanted to do and he wouldn't take no for an answer. That was Labor Day 2013. That November he was diagnosed with AML (leukemia) and underwent treatment. He had the cancer beat and after his final chemo treatment everything was looking great and he was preparing for a bone marrow transplant. With no immune system after the treatment, he developed pneumonia and we lost him this past March. Needless to say, my Dyna means much to me than most will ever know.Rip Herman.

Went to dealer to get a gift card for son n law. Ran into a salesman I knew. He wanted to show me the new Lowriders they were uncrating. Looked nice not together yet. Went back next day to see finished assembly and was hooked

I've wanted a Wide Glide since I was a kid. So when I was in the market for a new scoot, there was no question in my mind. Buying a brand new one with 5 miles on it was icing on the cake!

My bother-in-law (wife's side) sadly passed away a couple of years ago and his 08 SG Custom has been sitting in he garage since. Sister-in-law wanted to move from upstate NY to Virginia Beach Va where we live. She made me an offer I could not refuse, if I would go up to NY and pack her up and move her down here she would give me the bike in return. She paid for the U-Haul truck and trailer plus the gas, how could I say no to that deal.... 08 SG Custom with 12K miles and garage kept....

I came across a guy that was out of work for a year due to an injury. He was trying to eliminate all monthly bills. I bought out his loan on his 09 Street Bob. I paid about half of what they were selling for.
