Hah thanks for kind words guys. I usually try to stay away from financing things, and if I do I make sure I can at the very least double the monthly.

Once the checking account recovers I'm thinking PCV with autotune, maybe a new seat for the longer rides, and spending some $$ on my poor neglected cars

Paid off the 4 year loan in 20 months. Took the 4 year because the rate was a lot better and extra payments went directly to principal.

BTW I saw a couple Road King Classics at dealership last Sunday. One in Root Beer paint and one in Pearl White/Pearl Gray paint.

Hey, I still have the spreadsheet saved somewhere......

I admit it - I am a sick puppy.

Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind! I love this bike though, and any other bike would have to be in addition to the bob.

Just think of all the goodies you can get for your bike now!!!
