Default Going crazy over here!

At my local H.D. dealership: '07 Road Glide, pewter pearl that looks sweet w/the motor & wheels. Chrome fork covers, grips, Stage I w/ S.E. slipons & breather. $20,160.
Been on the floor since March! Absolutly beautiful. The wife says I have to hold out another month or so before the finances are where we need them before pulling the trigger.
I found out today that it's $1000. off this month. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out!!!

I'd go for it and then find a comfortable couch for the garage cuz that's where you'll be sleeping.

I think that it's the wife's job to keep postponing your ride. Some times, it's not really the money. But, a way to ensure you're not gonna go riding and crack your head open. Or, out riding and leaving her at home, doing chores. If you can get your wife to ride behind you, maybe she'll see things your way.

Good luck!

Hello McFly!!!!

What are you waiting for? My wife is like that, but when I throw logic & common cents into the equation, it's a no brainer done deal!

Step up, grab your set and lay down the law.....and like the other guy said, get a couch for the garage.......

Work out a trade - something for you(RG)- something for her, like a new vacuum cleaner, washing machine, etc. Then everybody's happy

My new Glide came with a few accessories I hadn't planned on. A new jacket....for my wife. A new pair of riding boots....for my wife. A new, second jacket ('cause the other one is too heavy for hot weather, dontcha know)....for my wife.

It's been my experience that there are certain accessories that are "worth" more than others. Maybe if your wife saw how good theRoad Glide looks with her new jacket next to it........
