in the next few years I'll be retired from the Air Force and on a somewhat fixed income as I go to Harley mechanics school for my second career.

Firstly, thanks for your service but secondly, I wouldn't bet on actually working for an HD dealer as a mechanic. HD's profit margain is razor thin just lately and I highly doubt that they're hiring well-paid mechanics. Good luck tho!

I only get buyers remorse when i see Socal style deluxes. Cholos, apes and a skinny in front make me have 2nd thoughts about the train. 2nd bike will definitely have to be a Deluxe.

I am pissed at the person that started this thread. I could not sleep last night because I kept tossing around the idea of selling my bike or trading it in and getting a black denim Street Glide and then start all over again dropping money in it. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!

I'm with Keithhu, I love my Lo but would like to have the Merlot Sunglow Street Glide with the 103 motor. That is one nice ride!!.

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get the SG but every time I look at my bike, I just can't get rid of it. It's my first Harley so I'll keep it and when I can afford another one, get the SG.

Well turn that Train into a SoCal Train. Slam it, get black cholos, apes and some fat daddys. Won't be too many looking like it.

Thanks much for your support. I am doing the mechanic piece for the desire to do something I love. $15 per hour is fine with me and will suppliment my income just fine.

My only regret is that I didn't buy my Harley sooner.
