Id say buy the other bike and dont trade this one, sell it private youll get more money out of the bike at least. Or keep this one and buy a second one and claim this is your "wifes" bikes (wink wink) lol.

I doubt I'll ever sell it. I absolutely love the bike, and the color still gives me a little wood every morning.
If I feel the need to own a West Coast El Diablo some day, I'll probably give this bike to my kid.
It is an addiction, and I will probably run out of any semblence of willpower and order up the wheels this spring.

All about personal expression. It's all relevant to your $ situation. If the $ are not an issue, the creation stems from within you. No one else. There isn't another Harley that comes close to what you create. Creation is good for the soul grasshopper!

I got at least another 15 years before I can retire.. I'm 47, and going on 19..
Like I said, I would like a Jesse Chopper someday soon . But first, I got to put two kids through college, and buy them both safe vehicles of their own..
Hopefully, business is good, and I can do it sooner rather than later.
