Cool helloHe

Hi my name is jameson. I am a disabled army veteran. Hens the user name. I was injured in Iraq in 2007 thanks to sum ******** with 2 car bombs. Although my injuries are not visible on the out side. Life is a struggle every day. I have a full time job at an oil refinery. But due to my up coming surgeries that is about to come to and end. Iam not here to give a sob storey. Just thought you should know a bit about me. I do not own a Harley but it is my life long dream to have one one day. Hopefully soon. Iam looking for a dyna street bob. I don't have a much money and my credit thanks to my exwife is shot. If there is any advise any one can provide on how I might be able to get my dream bike I would appreciate it. Thank you.

It doesn't help the spam emails, phone calls and junk mail but I sign up for every "Win a Harley contest" I can find. Sometimes I'll google "win a 2011 Harley". Most motorcycles shows have at least one contest for a bike. Good luck and thank you for your service.

Hey Jameson ---- Maybe you could just go to a dealer, pick out a bike, and see what the Harley financing numbers look like. If you don't have great credit, the interest rate will probably be higher, but on a newer bike, you might be able to get lower payments by extending out to 60 or 72 months. Even 84 if they'd do it. Pay on time (a few days early is better, and pay 10 or 20 dollars a month, more than the payment amount) for a year or 2 & maybe the interest rate would go down. When they see that you're making the payments on time, you might be able to refinance at a lower rate, or even get a bigger bike if you want one. Just because you look at a bike & find out what payments will be, doesn't mean you have to go for it. Only 1 way to find out.

Thank you also, for your service. I wish that we could spend less money on stimulus plans, and more on guys like you, who need some help when you get back.
