I did it! (finally)
Ok I finally did it. I did have a couple of posts outlining that I was going to do it and i finally did. Arguably not the easiest deal to make happen. The harley dealer was still under the impression that it would be previlage to buy a bike form them. clearly with today's economic reality things have changed so it took me a while to help them understand that. At the end it was very very frustrating and I almost went and bought a wing I was treated so badly. But I needed some soul! so harley it was.
Take delivery next week of a 08 Road glide. Vivid black as I am going to paint ti over the winter.
I can't wait!!!!

Congrats on the new bike... It amazes me some dealers have the attitude that we are fortunate to buy from them. I went to many dealers before I made a deal with a dealer 1.5 hours from my house. Drive safe!

Scotty,
I have to agree about todays economy..... People need to realize that we are pretty much in a recession. Seems like what you went thru is the same thing I'm going thru looking for a house.... It is not a year ago... Things have changed and the entire system is hurting.
Grats on the new bike and you will enjoy it....

RE: I did it! (finally)
My local dealer has always bent over backwards to make a deal. And they are a very high volume dealership. When buying my 08 I shopped around a little and encountered that same "you should be honored that we even speak to you" attitude. So I ended up back where they make the deals and treat me alike a customer should be treated.
Enjoy your new RG. And post some pics and impressions when you get a chance.

Seems strange that the dealers still think we have to buy a bike from them! I travel 1hr. to my dealer of choice to be treated as a valued custumer and given a great deal. Congrats on the new ride!
