Paid cash, I have always tried to save up to be able to pay for "toys" and not use credit.

Traded in my 2000 Wide Glide for the Heritage and cashed out the balance. We have three years to go on my girl friends FLSTN.

Well, I had been saving up to pay cash, but then the train I was a conductor on crashed, and the settlement made it happen all that much quicker.

Back's still a little messed up though...

Financed a Texas Chopper for a year or so, paid it off. Traded the chopper for my King, plus they gave me cash. So, depends on how you look at it....either way, my ride is mine....not the banks!
