Well, my 04 Fatboy (the one in my sig pic) was sold yesterday. I had a guy ask me last weekend if it was for sale and I gave my usual "everything's for sale" answer. He asked what it would take to buy it, so I shot a ridiculous number at him (6K over book) and he didn't blink. Paid me in hundreds yesterday. I honestly don't know whether to be happy or sad. It was tough to see her go, but you know the old saying about when two fools meet. Looks like I'm on the hunt again. Not sure which wasy I'm going to go. I love the looks of the Rockers, but am still partial to Fatboys. I've never really been on anything other than Fatboys and my old Heritage. Any advice about the riding position and comfort of the Rocker would be greatly appreciated. Most of my riding is country roads and some city for 2-3 hour stints.

 

Got to wonder why he would pay you 6 k over book in hundreds..
But good luck finding a new bike. Sure is fun when you get to think about what else you could have.

 

Hi Liz, I guess I should have worded that a little better, huh. He actually wanted to pay me with a check (no chance), so we went to his bank and he cashed it then gave me the bucks. From the little I found out about him, he has made tons of money in the oilfield and what he wants, he buys.

 

Congrats on the sale! Now you get to look forward to buying/customizing another one. By the way, I have an 04 FLSTFI that I'll let go for $3K over book and we'll both walk away winners! HA!

 

Congrats on the sale. I would go to the dealership and test ride some. I have a Rocker and i love it. Never had a Fat Boy so i cant compare but i had a Sportster before the Rocker and they are totally different.

 

If you got cash and were with him in the bank then no need to worry. Can't believe he wanted to write you a check. That is funny.. yah a check from a stranger for way over value for my prized possession what could go wrong Smart man that you got cash.
But have fun finding a new one.

 

Whats done is done. No use in second guessing the sale. Look at it this way. You have the money in hand to buy a bike at a time when you can get a great deal. The used market is at an all time low and dealers are making some great deals to keep sales going.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone. Mike06, your right, there are some serious deals out there right now. I haven't really been keeping up with the used market around here. I found three I'm going look at Saturday. Looks like I can pick up an 08-09 bike and still have quite a bit of duckies left over. I guess I need to buy momma some new sparklies this weekend too so she won't get too upset with the daily visits from UPS.

 

fun times gettin a new scoot though!!

 

Get one while you've got the cash!! Otherwise, if you're like me, it'll get spent and then if you want a scoot you'll be startin' from scratch.
