I've had 4 bikes and the only regret I have is that I didn't spend more time riding them.

I bought a 17 Breakout, then a 18 Road King, then I traded the Breakout in for a 18 Ducati Monster 1200S and no regrets. The only regret I have is waiting till I was 51 to buy a sportbike, damn that thing is fun.

I have found that I do not have to always ride my bike to enjoy it. I can just remember how it sounded and felt the day before and get a thrill. Its a Zen thing.

I usually ride my eGlid into town and switch out to my Pan. I didn’t do that this morning. I felt so bad about I made myself wash the whitewalls on her for penance.

The only remorse I've ever felt about Harley's was not buying the '06 EG with sidecar for the wife when I had a chance in 2012. When I do buy a bike the emotion is buyer's euphoria. Heck I didn't even have remorse when we got the boy the 83 GL1100 project bike.

Probably depends on whether or not you can afford it. If you have cash falling out of your pockets, you will probably never really care.

The key point that I am confident in is that he said Harley will always try to keep MSRPS going up.
Is that the same sales manager that you believe screwed you over in your posts under 'Bad Dealers'?
