Yeah, that's my bottom line too the more I think about it. I know lots of people finance motorcycles, but I don't dig it myself. And like TwiZted says, a 99 Harley is a good bike.

Right on, couldent agree more. Anytime you can buy without the banks help is a good position to be in.

Thank you for the replies! Yeah I just figured if I could get a small loan and gain credit no big deal. But I definitely agree if it's as good as it sounds, it'll be in the garage Monday.

Ok you are out on the open road and something goes wrong with your bike,
will the dealership nearest to where you are at, at that time fix your 99 or
your 09? If you don't know, go ask the service department, at the nearest
dealership to you, then go get your 09 Street Bob.

There's lots to be said for owning the bike not owing on it trust me , hard times comes along that's a headache you won't have and now you'll have a solid if you want to trade up with some cash in the future sometime. Not everybody needs a new bike every 2 years just to keep it under warranty like a bunch in here do, don't let them kid you.
