Default Now what do I do?

I just got a letter from the dealer where I bought my bike. He is trying to move his inventory and is offering all 2006 bikes in stock at employee pricing to his customers! Now I do not need another bike, and I am very pleased with the one that I have, but how do I pass on a deal like this? He might as well have sent the divorce papers along with the offer letter!! LOL

Dealers are trying to move what's left of the 06 stuff because the 07's will be here in about 24 days. If the 95" motors come stock, as expected, the TC 88's will be a little harder to move.
