Thanks Larry and got your back too brother. Have said countless times, if I ever pull the trigger the person better not be standing in front of me. Dumb *** phrase.

On another note I ain't sure but do all Harley dealerships have a bell? Have been in plenty that do and heard the bell rang plenty of times. I have just never been a first time buyer, preferring to let someone else take that new bike/cage buyers fee off my hands. If I was wealthy it would be a different story but I ain't.

For OP - nice bike, but not a fan of color or flames; whatever floats your boat. Just make sure your get the OL's head-nod...if you get what I mean...

That's a smokin' deal on that 12.
You'd better go for it, if you can afford it.
Someone else will if you don't.

$18.5 on a 12 CVO?
Somebody got raped on their trade in!

If the target is acquired and clearly identified, discharge your firearm.

Gentlemen...that's not a CVO; it's a 2012 w/limited Deep Purple/flame paint ($1K upgrade option).
