Default Proof for the doubters

Since someone saw fit to close my other thread.

The Slim sold for $21,977, 10% consignment charge.

Like I said, my cut was $19,800. $18,800 towards the new bike, and $1000 cash to me.

Ya see, now was that so hard? Tourer are still super boring to me but that's why I'm on the Sof Tail forum (aka stf) and a Softail owner. Good luck with your build. I'm sure it will be a hint in the touring section.

Hard, no. Shouldn’t have been neccessary. The bikers I ride with are about respect, and that’s world I live in.

That's great but for the rest of us respect has to be earned. Nobody is above reproach and it is quite common for people to lie on the Internet. A prudent person would never take the word of a stranger and that's what we all are here. What brought us all here is a love for Harleys more specifically softails.

Glad it worked awesome for you. I had an awesome trade in/ purchase experience myself 2 weeks ago. Sometimes they know when a bike will fly out the door. Mine sold in 2 days. I grew up in Redmond by the way...
