It's only money!
« on: April 07, 2012, 04:40:39 AM »
A young guy at work who likes my KO and K6 said his Dad just bought a new 2012 HarleyDavidson  Screamin-Eagle Road Glide. Turn key out the door for just under $40 grand. Sounds like a deal to me :o :o :o I like Harleys, but come on ::) I thing I'll stick with my sohc4 CB750's ;D

Holy crap!!

You could add up ALL my toys - all the bikes, the motorhome, boat, etc. and still not have 1/4 that!!

...and I feel bad when the value of any bike in my garage exceeds a couple thousand.  I feel like I shouldn't have that much money tied up in any one toy, and I sell it off and start back at the $400 level.  :)

That is a lot of money to me. If I were to spend that much it would probably be on a Ducati....

Both my honda's together cost less than 3  $40,000 bike payments. The wife was fussing about the last bike I bought. I reminded her I could be into  those kinds of bikes. Not so much after all. And I could double my money on either of mine.

I'm thinking about an older GL.  You can get a really great used one for about 1800 bucks here.
