RE: Third Times a Charm
Hey DR, don't let them beat you up about the trades, you have the one you wanted to start with now, and you gave your wife the oportunity
to be involved too... I went thru the same.. (oh.. I got beat up too..) hehe.. I still go to the dealer and sit on the "Shiney Ones" .. But I've learned to control it and GTFOT.. after an hour or so...

At least it better be so says my wife. I just traded into my third bike in 6 months. First bike was an 07 Road King, put a bunch of work into it saw a custom and had to have it. Second bike was a Thunder Mountain Blackhawk 240 chopper. The chopper was way to hard on my lower back on long rides (rides over 150 miles in one day). So now that I absolutly know what type of riding I want to do (long distance) I traded the custom in today for a Vivid Black Street Glide. The irony of it all is that the Street Glide is the bike I went to buy the first time, but the wife talked me out of it because she didn't like the batwing. Well now she's come around (not that it matters at this point) and I am happy on my FLHX. Now it's back to buying chrome do dads and dohickys.
Happy Chroming

You should make an agreement with the dealer, that you will buy the Street Glide, as long as he promises to never let you inside the showroom again 
3 NEW bikes in 6 months? Daaaaaaaaamnnnnn

Wow,I can't even imagine how much $$ you lost on these bikes in a 6 month period. I think you have BADD.....Biker Attention Deficit Disorder.[8D]
