Well no matter the cost once you have "THE" bike the price matters little, you figure out a way to pay for it, or the bank comes and takes everything except the bike cause you stashed it in your nieghbors garage, lol

Can't wait to hear what you buy next month lol. My old boss was like that with his cars. I remember when they redesigned the Mustang back around 1995 or 1996, he bought one right away and 3 months later traded it in for the Cobra version only to trade that the next year for a Vette, then a Prowler, another Vette, Dodge Ram.

O worked with him for 18 years before he retired and we tried to add up all of the cars he had in that time and between his and his wifes we lost count in the 30's!

No wonder stock in Harley is back on the crimb. You sound like you have to learn things the hard way like I do. At least you still riding and on the right bike this time. Congrats on the new scoot.

Hmmm... in just a couple months, you could order an 08. They MIGHT CVO the Street Glide. It's so popular! Do I hear 4 bikes in 18 months?

Actualy when it was all said and done I came out on top as far as the vehicles themselves go. I actually sold the chopper back to the dealer for more than I bought it for. Imagine that!! I told them if they wanted to sell me the SG I would take no less than Blue Book for the chopper. I got the chopper for a few grand less because of a rebate and a good friends employee discount. So all in all I did ok. I did loose out on the accessories on the RK though.
