Ouch!
Talked trade with a dealer of my 06 low rider with 3500 miles on a new Road King. I bought the Low Rider from him new last spring, it's perfect, never dropped or scratched. He offered me $11K for it. I know you take a beating on a trade, but that hurts. Guess I'll just ride this one a lot longer.

That's what I'll do. By the time I'm old and frail enough to need a tourer, my bike will be paid for and I'll have two.

RE: Ouch!
It might pay you to shop at some other dealers. I'm trading an '03 Wide Glide with 26k miles in on another Dyna and am getting considerably more for it than what they're offering you. Don't know what your dealership situation is in Charleston, but I saved $1100 by riding 30 miles up the road from Greenville to Spartanburg. Retail on your bike is around $15000, no need for them to make $4000 on yours plus what they make on the new Road King.

RE: Ouch!
I quess you have not heard of the Lehman/Harley agreement. Sometime late 2007 or early 2008 there will be Harley Trikes. Everyone wants to think they will be able to do two wheels forever, but won't it be great to still be able to have you face in the wind when you 90 to 100 hundred years old. No insult intended to anyone over 90 who can still do two wheels.
