You are so constipated. You forgot to smile.

i just got my heritage a month ago. in all seriousness i am going by there tomorrow and ask what they can do for me. between us, i don't expect much, but who knows maybe they will give me an instore credit for some chrome or something. even if they give me a couple hundred dollar voucher their cost is much less and it eases my pain a little. i wouldn't be surprised if they helped a brutha out a little. i will let you know how it shakes out.

I could have saved $865 if I had waited a week.

Did they give you a nice discount off MSRP when you bought it? If so that might soften the blow some. Nevertheless, I do feel for you and others in this situation.

Welll actually it was good natured humor.. Honestly am puzzled because usually the Heritage is the first they run out of off the show room floor have owned two and my 04 Trade in value was only a little less than what I actually paid for it .. I would still be riding my 04 Heritage Bonnie Blue not been for my wifes knee surgery and needed a Tourer for what we cary and our combined weight..

You raise a good point. "My" dealer sent me an email over the weekend offering $2K cash discount on remaining '09s. I'd be surprised if the discounts are as deep on the new '10s.

I am just trying to find out why a 2010 is less than a 2009? Of course there are more discounts on the 2009 models, that is not the point. All other models stayed the same or went up.
