Default I've got first dibs on a soon to be used '17 M8 Roadking

I've rented the same '17 M8 Roadking from my dealer several times. This last time when my TriGlde was being serviced, I put about 300 miles on it in 2 days. I'm loving it more than last time. So...I had them put me on the follow up list for when it is turned over to sales. I'm first on that list. So...assuming it's still in great condition, and I get a decent deal, I'll be squishing it and the TriGlide into our 2 car garage with the Acura MDX.

It was put into rental service last September, and now only has 4,500 miles on it. And it doesn't have a single ding or scratch. They typically turn rentals over to sales before 10,000 miles, or when the next model year is available. So...probably end of the summer one way or another.

I'm kidding Tri. I think it's great that you're gonna get a new machine.
