Just made my last payment. I'm riding for me now. When I signed my name 4 years ago, I thought that it was going to be a long stretch to get it paid for. But it's done now. It's mine. The attached picture was as I bought it new and no upgrades.

 

Always a great feeling when you have it free and clear.

 

nice feeling , enjoy it

 

Now you get to ride another 4 years and add some nice bling!

I have the same bike and love it!

 

Congrats! I have a long way to go till that day but I am counting the coupons in the coupon book. Must be a lot nicer ride knowing there's no check writing to go with it.

Enjoy!

 

So, both of you guys were making payments on the same bike? How do you choose who rides on which days, or do you go two-up?

just kidding with you.

 

Beautiful bike & now 100% yours - great feeling & I hope to join you soon!!!

 

Congrats. There isn't any other feeling so good.

You will get a handful of people that love having debt and don't even have a plan to get out of it, or a plan to ever get back into it. Probably why you get so many posts about HD finance, buying, trading, new bikes every 2-4 years, and so on. Why, because of the classic cop out: "You only live once." AKA, "Be like me, I never planned ahead once in my live...so yeah, I'm now 60+ and don't have the time left in my body to think about saving now."

Then you have the cash only guys that know the bliss you are feeling right now after paying it off. I'll never go down that payment road again! There is a sense of power and control when you are no longer slave to the lender.

 

Congrats on paying it off!!

 

At the time I bought this bike, my beloved old 87 FLHTC had near 100,000 miles on her and was getting tired. I had plans on restoring it, at the cost of around $6000. Harley was offering 3.99% financing. I jumped on it. The dealer gave me $4500 for the old one. I would have never bought this one if they couldn't do that APR. But anyway, It's mine, and at my age, will probably be my last one, bar any unforseen situations.
BTW, I've added this stuff along the way:
