Well, I bought my bike used, paid cash. But they way things are going right now coming in to the slow season, I am glad all my stuff is already paid for. Itg would be ahrd to justify a second bike for myself when my car is a 1994 Honda too. Tried talking to the wife about it and she nearly had a heart attack. LOL. I told her she drives the car so she can buy a new car, I ride the bike so i can buy a new bike. LOL.

I'd like to one day have a Road King or maybe Street Glide, but I don't see myself giving up my Night Train for one.

I always wanted a Heritage, but when I bought it last year I couldn't even sell my old Sporster. So there the Sportster sits next to it ... blown motor and all!

I might buy a bagger one day, but only if I win the lottery. My Heritage will never be sold!

I hear ya WARG i've had a few bikes over the years, can't even remember how many but this fatty is the best of them. I did set it up with all the detachables for longer rides but got sick of setting it up every time and it just ain't set up to cruise.

So i got a bagger to put the long miles on.

But i kept it in the same family.
