That's great unclestoolie,sound's like your soon to be in the saddle,what a great feeling. I guess though I don't understand why you guy's are having to order bike's because the stealer's around here are full,I mean full. I guess they may ship bike's to their largest dealer's first,or maybe I don't have a clue.[8D]

I ordered mine because I could not find the color I wanted. If you're going to spend that kind of money...don't settle.

I ordered mine because they were sold out of Night Trains. They usually only stock a few of that model anyway, since they are not as popular as other models.

Cheers!

Ordered for several reasons, TnHeritage. First and foremost, I wanted to wait until spring and nice weather. (meanwhile, it has been the mildest winter I can remember around here.) Second, to re-itterate what the others said, i was not about to settle. I wanted two-tone, I wanted EFI, and I wanted it to have no opportunity to sit on the showroom floor and get constantly straddled and potentially scratched!!!! LETS RIDE

Tn.Heritage,

I'm waiting on a Softail Deluxe. I was looking at the Heritage for a while but the Deluxe just spoke to me.
