4.1 Million divided by and average cost of $ 25,000 = 164 bikes sold.
4.1 Billion divided by and average cost of $ 25,000 = 164,000 bikes sold.

I think it was a typo. My dealership sold over 164 bikes this spring.

I'm in a position where I can do both.

I've worked my a$$ off to live debt free- I own it all, I owe nobody.
I never took on something I couldn't pay for, I saved until i could buy it ( Thanks Dad)

3 Harleys in the garage, a few hundred shares in my acct.
