I dont care what anyone else says I think you had a little run of bad luck. If buying a knew bike makes you feel better do it. But until then go ahead and tell us another bad luck story that got you downso we can kick you some more.

Gettin' a new one is good. Tradin' in the old one, not so good.

Keeping the old one and getting another one is what I vote for!!

You have a sweet looking bike, but a sg is very nice, as well. And ABS would be nice to have. If you can swing both, do it. If not, and your bike is paid for, I would keep it. But, truth be told, if you feel unlucky with your current ride, and selling would cure this for you, then do it. BTW, and FWIW, I do not believe in luck. Things are how you make them, or are how they are. I work in a casino, and hear all day how someone is lucky, or not. I have to tell you, luck does not make you win in a casino. Timing does and decisions you make are the only way to win. IMHO.

Thanks for the advise guys. I love the looks of my deluxe but with the front end wobble that I cant seem to get rid of, and the "streak of bad luck" or whatever the hell it is, I am seriously considering trading up.

And for those of you who made me feel like a jackass, thanks too![:'(]
