Default Almost Bought a 2014 FLHTK

While at and event this past Saturday, I looked and rode a new 2014 Ultra Limited, the more beer I drank the braver I became. Trade in value on my 2012 Ultra Limited was fantastic, had to leave all the chrome, GPS and everything on it. So I signed the papers and rode away about 9:30 PM that night. Nice bike, Daytona Blue. Well when it came time to sleep, I couldn't was just thinking about how much I would spend dressing it up to look like my 2012. Ran some numbers in the middle of the night and figured I would put in a minimum of $ 4500 into the new one that I really don't have. And being the most inpatient person that would drive me crazy. Nothing wrong with my 2012 and the payment on the new one was $ 50 more per month besides adding 2 more years of payment.
SO, I returned it the next day, and slept like a baby that night... No remorse what so ever!

Let me get this right. You rode away on the 2014 and they let you return it the next day full refund?

Now that it's a used bike, I wonder what the asking price will be ??
Suppose they will still attempt to sell at new bike price ??

I traded a 2010 SG that had a lot done to it and I don't regret it at all. Wish I had traded sooner. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

No offense to the OP but there are tons of people around the world that have no food, or are sick in a bed with no hope or dying a very slow death etc etc etc and we can't sleep at night because of stuff we can or can not afford to put on a motorcycle. I happen to know a few people like that. Wow, I think we have too much abundance.
