Gents...OP has progressed past the point where he needs suggestions or advice. He has come to a decision and made a deal.

Sorry to hear that she messed with your bikes. But, as you already know, you're lucky she slipped up and let her crazy out before you went into business with her. Best of luck with the new RG. Hope you get many of miles and smiles out of it.

I welcome suggestions and input, especially if you have been in this situation.
This. Absolutely this.

Of the two bikes... all emotions aside.... which is the bike (including extras and payments) that you prefer....???

Keep that one, dump the other one... and to hell with if your ex rode it or not...

I've been there and I've gone both ways; once having made a decision for emotional reasons, that I later regretted, and once not letting emotions cloud my judgement/choices and did what the hell I wanted to do.....

I much preferred not letting emotions cloud the decision...!!

Believe me, the emotional aspect won't matter a year from now...

If you like the newer bike, who cares that she rode it.... sell the older one and with the money you can almost pay off the new one, or customize the hell out of it...

If you like the older bike, do as some have said, price it right from the getgo and avoid making a bunch of payments waiting for it to sell...

Let her go.... start by not letting her influence decisions about your Harley!!

Good luck with whatever you decide.... you're not the first, and damn sure won't be the last, to go through something like this....you'll be fine....
This!

never let emotions steer you sideways!

Without going into too much detail at the moment... Neither bike would start.... mysteriously.... and the exhaust smelled.... odd.... Almost like someone put something in the gas tank while I wasn't home... Interesting given the fact that the bikes ran perfectly fine just the day prior....


Both Street Glides are at the dealership getting looked over and figuring out why they will not start. Meanwhile, my dealership took pity on me and worked with me. I tell you what, those guys are something else and I mean that in a good way.


I don't have possession of the Road Glide yet. It is still at the dealership getting bars and lighted controls put on. Once I get it (hopefully soon) I will post pictures of her in this thread and probably other threads...


Till then, ride safe, all!!
Well? Where are the pixs????
And.... did you change the locks? Maybe a hidden camera setup too. Vindictive women are the worst. I could never wrap my head around continuing an ugly relationship just because it didn't work out. You don't want the bitch screwing with your new bike.

I'm still waiting on the dealership. It's killing me because the weather has been SO nice this week. Im ready to get back in the saddle!!
