I'm getting a little buzzed on wine tonight and thinking........
I hate trading my Dyna, It's been a great bike. The payment
is going to be a lot more and I'm using the tax money I
saved for the down payment. The wife is really pushing me
to get this bike, but I better have money for her to spend at
christmas. Damm.....the pressure. I'm sure if they work the
deal I want, I'm going for it. It'll be my 3rd Harley in 2 years.
I don't seem to keep them past 6 to 9 months.

When you really look at it relative to other bikes,Harley Davidson motorcycles are somewhat over the top and they attract buyers who want that and are willing to pay for it....not carrying that logic over to first HD purchases often results in customers buying and trading up multiple times.
