That s a good looking bike. Try and get it cheap, trading yours in? Maybe try CL first but that usually is a nightmare

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not a big fan of the "oh well your spending 10, why not spent 15" logic either. If that justification made any sense I could talk myself into buying a brand new road glide for something like 30k. I'm not really in any kind of a rush to get on a new bike at all. I've just been looking around and happened to come across this one which i really like. I was thinking that if I could get it for 9k, and get a decent amount for mine in trade, that I would go ahead and make the move. If I can't get it for what I think is a good deal, then I'll stick to my sporty and wait for the next one to come along.

And yes suii that bike is being sold at the dealer in bellingham.

That's the perfect way to shop. You have a ride, dont go rushing into anything.

Well I would disagree with that. Gotta stick up for the Train.

i think 10 k isnt a bad price for it, if it all checks out..... just matters how bad you want it, ya know.
