See if it will fit in the door (I'd have to open the double doors, or come thru my sliding glass door with my bagger) put it in the living room, plug in the battery tender and go.

I gotta ask - - So why would you buy it now only to let it sit for 2 months, possibly at risk outside or crammed into an overstuffed garage? Why not wait and buy it when you get back? Not like the dealer is gonna be out of '10s in March.

So it sucks to buy the bike and only get to play with it for a week before I go but I'd rather see my girl, the bike won't miss me anywhere near as much as she does
It's a 2010 vivid black wide glide with black VH short shots, air cleaner and tuner all put on before I get it.
I would wait till the summer for the 2011 bikes to come out if it doesn't matter to you that much , the newer year will have some changes/upgrades ..

when i got my bike the dealer oddered to cover it place a battery tender on it and store it at no extra charge to me for the whole winter ask it cant hurt they get paid when you sign the papers that bike sitting there does not matter to them usually unless they are a small dealer

they wont have a problem storing it, but they also won't have a problem charging you to keep it there.

if you already bought it and are set on bringing it home before you leave, either clear the garage, put it in the house, or start calling family and friends with space and buy yourself a cover.

lol some of yall are harsh. I bought it today, so ****ing stoked. They deliver it tomorrow. I'm not going to leave it outside, that was never really an option. It'd either go in the garage with the car (which I think is what will happen), in the living room, or under the carport in the backyard with a cover on it.

And yeah I could have just waited till summer but I've been waiting for 4 1/2 years while I've been stuck on the other side of the ****ing world so I'm done waiting. This is my getting-out-of-the-military present to myself. I wanted to have something to come home to and what could be better than a brand new harley?

lol not sure where I'd even begin to find something like that over there. There is a harley dealership in the city I was stationed in but I think I saw maybe 3 harleys the entire time I was there besides some Americans.
