Default I looked at new bikes yesterday

yesterday when I was at the dealership waiting on my Powder coater to get through with a customer (hes a salesman there) I was standing around and checking out the new bikes and the new street glide or road glide both are very do-able at only $318.00 a month
man I got to be carefull I may end up with a new bike after all
but there is no way I am ready to put the shovel out to pasture yet now if I can just get the two Vulkans down the road I might concidering adding another bike to my stable

have 5 sell 2 buy 1 ummm at least I am still thinning the heard
I wonder if I could get the ol to go with that ?

It's never a good idea to look for a bike based on monthly payment... LOL You bike looks awesome, but selling any of your other bikes, right now, may be tough... Maybe the way things are headed, you can hold out, and get a bike when the dealers really get desperate... which we all know is coming...
