Default Did the deed today...


Since the Stealerships here in town don't deal, I contacated one in the bay area and got a pretty decent deal on a 2011 Road King (Black/Merlot with cruise, ABS, Detatchable top box and Hammock seat). Since they didn't have one in stock, thet'll be ordering it directly from the factory (you know that place where they just settled on a labor contract). I'll be sealing the deal Wed with a ride to the edge of the left coast with a deposit. So thus starts the waiting!!!!

Its too bad you couldn't spend your money locally. But I know how it is. I live in your area. I bought two bikes from Auburn before they folded because Sac Harley and Folsom wouldn't deal. However when I bought my '07 Heritage nobody could touch the deal I got from Folsom. I think it just depends on who your sales person is.

Maybe you didn't notice but "The RUBS" are the ones buying 90% of the bikes. So, if you have MoCo stock maybe you should just say Thank You.
