Default New bike

My wife took me over to the dealer to pick up my V-Rod from the fire repair and while in the parking lot she points to a blue H-D ultra classic and said if you get that I will ride on the back with you. So I walk in to dealership and ask about an ultra classic and they say took a look at this, it's the first 2013 model they have received. The bike did not even make it onto the show room floor. Well, lets just say it's coming home to me on Thursday, it's already paid for, they just need some time to prep it, it's just out of the crate.

I paid OTD $500 off the MSRP and have the fist service included in the price. Don't tell people they can't dicker with a good dealer.

I had no plans of buying a new bike anytime, damn wife is always making me change them! LOLOL

I was trolling eBay two weeks ago and threw out a bid on a 2009 Softail Springer CVO....with the yellow/flamed paint. I won the auction at a really good price. This bike is the prettiest (to me) unit the The Motor Company has ever made. Can't wait to get it....shipping is a slow process. Does any have one of these Springers? Your thoughts?
