Awesome. I love having a payment free toy in garage. Paid cash for my 2012 limited wit money from accident last July when I got rear ended by a cager. Wife's car only got 3 months and its paid too. Thankfully she don't want a new one. Ride the wheels off it wit a big grin Congrats...

I am not a fan of payments (bike, car, truck, exc) so far I have paid cash for them (I think it has been about 20 years now).
But I don't have any "new" vehicles in the garage ...... well the wife's is a 2016 (but I picked it up with 2300 miles on it).
With that said I tried a number of times to buy a new bike last year (would have had to finance some of it, or rob from peter to pay paul).
No body "really" wanted to sell me one
so I picked up my current bike.
Not going to loose any sleep over it
When the dealer is asking me to bend over before I even get in the door
Keep smoking that joint buddy...
Buy the time they came around to really wanting to sell me the bike I was looking at the M8's.
So I guess I'm glad no one was ready when I was
I got time

thats the way i am right now. I'm retiring from the gubment at the end of the month. I'm going to contract but don't know for how long i'll do that...probably till they **** me off. I've got mine set up pretty much the way i like it i upgraded the headlights to the led, did a stage one, have a custom day long seat, have a windshield bag that has a center mount for my garmin gps which has xm radio.....except for the heat still coming off the right side, cant find a thing that i want to do with it. i don't like the colors much this year anyway. guess i'll just keep it around to at least the next years models come out.....lol

Dig it on the no payment thing.
Ain't into payments. lolol
Bike's an 09 bought it's outfitted like a CVO only better & paid for.
House was paid off around a month now.
That's a great feeling as well.

Thats what has me is the M8s and the good reviews they are getting. that, along with less heat with the liquid heads. They seldom budge on the floor price which sucks a big one. I'll wait till the next model comes out and see what colors they offer. i just don't like many of the ones they have out now. I'm looking at another Ultra Classic Limited or Road Glide Ultra..... i can't pull the trigger, i still like mine too much and i don't need two Harleys.

Congratulations. It's nice having the extra cash for a new leather jacket, or upgrades, or splurging on Fox Creek Gloves. I keep my '03 maintained on schedule, and I have no desire for a new bike.
The only bikes that appeal to me are the CVOs, but I don't think they are worth more than a new Mustang. If my bike ever becomes unreliable, I'll start looking for a Garage Queen, but they don't seem as plentiful as they used to be.
Enjoy your lack of payments. Find a safe place for your lien release, or title.

Funny you mention Fox Creek, i was just looking at their recent e-mail advertising some sales on gloves.....lol. I love that place. I've got a Jacket, Gauntlet Gloves, regular gloves and leather pants from them. Always good stuff. Cost a few $$ but it will last a lifetime.
