I love my bike and will not give it up. BUT! I want a chopper. I have my eye on an American Ironhorse. It is used with only 1,800 miles on it. It is beautiful. I don't need it (but it has never been about "need").
Please talk me out of a frivolous purchase that will get me in trouble with my wife. (Please don't list that as a reason since I am always in trouble with my wife and I can handle it!)

RE: Please talk me out of another purchase!!!
Less of a joke than what you are thinking about.... Besides have you ever rode one? One hell of a machine. Flame away its a fact....I am down on factory choppers, they just scream wannabe to me.
They are some real eye candy tho,Ifthats what you are looking for, buy it. A wing will still be twice the bike. Anyone who would quit riding before riding a GW cant be a very dedicated rider. No joke!

We have some used choppers in the shop. One,the guy bought,wrote a check for 46 K. He's trying to sell it(we do consignment) for 26.5k. it's been sitting there all summer. It has about 600 miles on it.
I would never try to talk someone out of buying something they want though. Not any of my business...

I worked weekends at a Yamaha/Ironhorse dealer, and I can tell you from experience, they are a maintenance nightmare. Strong running engines, but everything else needs constant attantion. Bet I replaced 25 speedos/guages because they kept crapping the bed. Chagning the back tire...MAN, is that ever going to cost you a prett penny, and I'm not just talking about the price of the tire, wheel removal SUCKS!
They look bad @ss though.

I know a guy that had an Orange County Chopper and sold it because it was constantly breaking down. He spent more time working on it than he did riding it.
By the way, he got about half what he paid for it and it was 2 years old.

RE: Please talk me out of another purchase!!!
I dont have to question it you made itCLEAR with your words I dont particularly like wings that much either, but they are still twice the bike the piece of jewelry you are talking about is... But I would ride either of them or a minibike before I would stop riding. Go buy it and let me know this time next year how wrong I was

Don't question my dedication. You don't have to like choppers and I don't have to like Goldwings. I did not question your or call you an old dorky fart for liking Gokdwings, did I?

RE: Please talk me out of another purchase!!!
use the money that you are going to spend on the new bike and make your current bike just a supercharged big inch horsepower freak that does wheelies and smokes everything else in its way.
