Default Lookin for some advice.........

Hey Fellas/Ladies.....
Names Steve, First time on the forum. Looking to purchase my first HD, a night train more specifically. Anyone who could possibly give me some advice as to where to look and what year to look for would be great. I live in NJ if that helps. THanks for any/all input

Where to look? Dealers, cycle trader, Ebay, Craigslist, here in classifieds. What year? How much $ you got?

Hey Steve. I'm Joseph. I purchased my 08' Night Train from Wildwood, NJ last June/July when I went down for a few days. They were pretty cool as they basically let me and my bud take anything we wanted for a ride. I even crashed their segway, :P. I got a pretty decent price and $800 worth of add-ons.

I'm closure to Long Branch HD, but have never done any business with them other than buying accessories (they never give me any discount), and once w/ their service dept (good experience) so I can't really comment on how their sales dept. is. I would tend to think, however, based on this area and comments I've heard that they don't' need to be as flexible.

I have also heard good things about Ocean Township HD.

If you get it for MSRP + some dollars (at least $600) in goodies and some free service, your gettin a fair deal. IMO
