Hey Fatty, welcome from a fellow recent member. I dont mean to get into your business but I was wondering did they cut you a good deal being so close to the end of the month. Only asking because my dealer here in Metairie, La. (next to New Orleans) just called me at home at 5:15 pm asking if I could come over before they closed at 6pm because they were doing "crazy stuff" on the 06 fats.

I got a similar call from my dealer.

It was the end of 06 Model year sales and they told me any bike left in the dealer ship came off their allocation for 07 so they were making deals.

They really surprised me with the deal they made, so I bought without much haggling back and forth.
