Default Did you sell/trade/keep your 1st Harley?

I just bought my 2013 Fatboy a month ago. I knew I would get pennies on the dollar on my 2006 883 Sportster low as a trade in. So I didnt give the dealer a chance to give me a lowball offer. So I posted it on FaceBook Market Place for $3,700 (dealer list price) because I wasnt 100% sure if I wanted to sell it or not. Well, yesterday I caught a flat on my fatboy. I had the bug to ride so I pulled out the sporty. Those mini apes, 30" sissybars, carbuerated sound of ponies running, I just cant do it. Look like I'm keeping my 1st Harley.

I traded my first Harley. I have other non Harley bikes to ride.
My Kaw Z1 900 i have owned 37 years and decided a long time ago she is a keeper. It has seen a few wives come and go and was around before my children were born.

I traded my first Harley. I intended to keep
my second forever even if I got a newer one but fate had other plans and it was wrecked instead.

My first Harley was a new '88 Heritage. I took this hot nurse on a first date on that bike. I still have the bike. Oh, that hot nurse has been my wife for 28 years !
