did you read where hd is cutting production by 40%? that might make it difficult to find one when you are ready.

i tell you what though, all this talk about the economy. i refuse to live my life in fear. i am gonna do whatever i have to do to make sure my family is taken care of, but i'm still gonna live my life too. life is too short to worry all the time.


this is very true..... thats what im thinking i just sold my street bob and i told myself that i wasnt gonna get right back into another bike payment but why not the way the world is going now a days mine as well enjoy everyday.... thanks for all the input guys

That is truly a great price. Don't wait, it may be gone. Also, don't think that because today we are in a struggling economy they are going to give them away tomorrow.

'Round about February after they haven't hardly sold a single bike they're lookin' to deal. At least around here, anyway. The dealer here still has plenty of bikes and with the economy in the crapper like it is you'll probably do alot better if you exercise some patience.

Rumor is that Harley is cutting production by 40%, Not sure how true it is.

I agree, that is a very good price. If you could get a better deal, it would only be couple hundred at best. Is it worth the wait just to hope for a couple hundred less. If you need something to push you over now, go ask for a discount on parts or helmet or something.

i wouldn't say you paid too much. maybe you paid more than the next guy, but if you are enjoying it, then it aint too much
