When folks ask me how I can afford to have three Harleys, I tell them the 76 model has been paid off for a while, and I just paid of the 03 model.

When I bought my $40K T-shirt in order to get the free CVO, the Finance guy put my check into a machine and it sucked the cash out of my account instantaneously. Paid in full in seconds. Never seen that instant money sucking machine before. So much for float.

Way to go! It's a good feeling. I paid off my 2020 a couple years ahead of schedule and knowing an institution isn't making money off me anymore gives the bike a nice sparkle. With almost 240,000 miles however, my trade-in/resale value is completely destroyed Luckily, it still gives me the tingles every time the garage door opens. No plans to get rid of it any time soon. My goal from this point is to never borrow money for anything ever again.

Congrats again and be safe!

This guy now has well over 500,000 on a 2019. This picture was taken all the way back in April. Sorry to go off topic, just felt relevant since the original typo was with a 2019

It actually is. A 1990 F150 longbed with a four in the floor.

Speaking of checks I got the dealer to write down exactly what the dollar figure was they needed and I rode my old bike to the bank, got a cashiers check cut, rode back to the dealer, gave them the check, and transferred my tag to the new bike (after calling the insurance company). One of the easiest vehicle transactions I've had.
