Yeah the other bikes look newer but none have Tinas personality.
Same here texashillcountry. Im in a dealership at least once a month and have had salesmen and parts persons ask me to trade mine in. There is no way Eve is going anywhere. Dont care what kind of deal they swing my way. My wife knows if/when there is another Harley it will be an addition to the family.

I had one salesman try so hard to get me to buy a bike. He kept telling to test ride it and I would see how great it is.

I told him fine I''ll take it for a test ride but I've already ridden a Twin cam and there is no way in hell I'm buying it. And that the only thing that would happen by me riding the bike is that I was less bored and to use up his gas. (I was waiting for a new tire at the time)

He finally left me alone after that.

Detail? I've only done 2 "true" details on her. You know, remove the bags, seat, and use chrome stuff (Wizards) on everything.

Took 3 hours give or take.

The rest of the time, half hour on the lift with a wash mitt and leaf blower............
