Sold my bike on ebay about 6 weeks ago, put a down payment on an 08 ultra took advisefrom friend and brother wait till spring to get the new bike they say. F$%^ them it has been 20 + years since I been without a scooter and I am Jonesing really bad. It is cold and windy in Chicago but the occasional bike I see gets me hard. It is going to be a long 4 months.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Couldn't afford a 08 Ultra, couldn't afford the 08classic, I was at the dealer and got a 08 Electra Glide Standard, they took it off the
show room floor and took it outside and said take if for a ride. I took if for a ride all right, right to the house.
Sure I wanted the Ultra or Classic. But with 3000 in my hand I can do a lot to my bike to make it look better. She runs good, rides smooth on the hiway. Old lady really liked her.
Go 4 months into the spring, Nah ! I gotta ride now, I might not be here next spring. Waiting ain't a good attribute for me !

That AIN'T no friend.. NO "friend" would advise you to wait to get a bike. As for your brother.. well.. I'm afraid you are stuck with him. For some reason, it's illegal to shoot them,even when they do give you bad advice. Every family tree has a few nuts in them.
Good luck on the wait. Maybe one will come in early, and a buyer will back out. There is always hope.
waiting is never no fun. i think you will be ok as long as it stays cold . but if we get some nice weather you might be up creek.i know what you are saying i'm not ready to park mine .
