I think I speak for every HD Forum member when I say we are all so very happy and sincerely excited for you and your next bike purchase choice!

I meant the Touring Models, being this is the Touring section of the Forum. The other models don't count.

Interesting they left the limited models basically unchanged with the 114 and the Boom GTS. The price for the cvo's seems reasonable, get them equipped like a cvo limited model and you will be pushing $50k before all the other charges. I think the CVO ST is a homerun if the dealers dont mark them up $5 to $10k.

How on earth did you come up with that from my post? I damn sure know people are earning their place man, more than we did as things are harder to get now. My point is that the boomer. gen x crowd had the opportunity to save lots of money as they / we had it pretty damned easy - guess who gets that money.

As you crack your knuckles and reach for the bifocals and keyboard - try Google. There are articles about the 29.6 TRILLION dollars that's going to pass down from us to them. Harley wants a piece of THAT action.

Gasp! The front suspension is compressed for transport! Don't they pay attention to the (blow a seal) trailering experts on HDF?
