Default Second thoughts?
Ever had second thoughts on the bike you ended up buying? Love my Deluxe but keep getting drawn back to a Night Train. Just could not find one I liked when I was in the market for a bike.

If I had to do it over again, I'd seriously consider a Street Glide.

I saw a Merlot Sunglow 103 for $20K at the dealer the other day, I felt my knees buckle.

I have to say, I love Harley's, but the Night Train is really the only model that I REALLY love... so I bought one. Totally happy with it.

However... my eyes do wander to the Denim Black Street Glide from time to time...

I never had buyers remorse with a Harley, but I have had sellers remorse.

Yup, I too wanted a Night Train but settled for the Deluxe. As you can see from my sig. pict, I'm trying to turn my Deluxe into something it isn't. Now that the Nightrain has been discontinued, it makes me want one all the more.

Oh, and I found plenty that I liked, just didn't have the coin needed.

No regrets at all, would like another one or two. Like to have a bagger for longer trips and a real cool hardtail to blast around town, but thats just me.

The beauty of a Harley is you can change it into whatever you want. Mine was a Nightrain when it was born. In the next few years who knows what it will be then

I love my Deluxe more now than when I bought it.

Would I like a different bike? Sure, but one to go along with my Deluxe, not in place of it.
