Talking Another traitor.....I mean trader!!!!!

I drop off the Sportster tomorrow morning and pick up my new Heritage. The one in my sig was a rental. Mine is black. I will miss the Sportster, but could not pass on the trade deal. Besides, the Heritage is one sweet bike. Hope you don't mind if I drop in the Sportster forums from time to time. Good folks over here.

Ride safe

Sorry it's a Street Glide. Dealer says it's coming from the factory in the box on 2-25 then they have to prep it and put the stage 1 and cruise on.

Eh,Sportsters aren't for everyone,my bud just sold his 04' 1200C for a Nightrain. He's 6'5" though,I've rode it,gives me no more thrill than my 883C & it does not have the power of a 1200C & $10K more than my bike was new but he likes it I have been tempted by a Softail Custom just for Dawns & my comfort when she is on. I'm 5'10" and Dawn doesn't ride 75% of the time with me,I'm still trying to get her to ride her own with no luck. She still says she wants to but won't twist a throttle I'll ride my Sportster and be very happy about it. 6 gears would be nice though. He keeps egging me on since I have the loot in the bank at the moment for a down with out trade in but my Sportster isn't going anywhere & that loot is to do some needed remodeling. Ride the **** out those new scoots though!

Congrats! This trade up deal is one excellent offer from the MoCo. If my Sporty was a 2007 or later, I'd probably take them up on it too for an S/E Springer or Fat Bob. For now, I'll sit tight. Good luck with the Heritage..You are going to love that smooth as butter ride....Peace.
