If they won't take my check, they don't get my business.
Bought a 2017 Road King in early June, walked in, wrote a check, rode it home same day.
Liked it so much I bought a 2017 Road Glide Ultra in August. Same thing. Wrote a check, rode it home.
Just how would I buy it without a check? Wire transfer? I don't make payments; never have and never will. That would imply that I couldn't afford the bike, which is a luxury, not a necessity.

That's a state law?

I can understand their position. That's a lot of coin if they been taken before. You can always come to my dealership. I walked in and saw my new bike sitting there and instantly knew I had to have it. 30 min later I was riding off on it while they had my personal check in full for the bike. Maybe they keep Vinnie and crew on a retainer

Not a rant but I found this rather unusual. I have purchased many cars and motorbikes with a personal check but the dealer wanted a cashiers check or credit card. I don't get it. Some people would be insulted and I have to admit it did put me off balance for a second. Never happened before.
They did not want to take credit card (not enough room).
So we buzzed over to the closest credit union office and picked up a cashiers check.
They offered to let me take the bike with, just like they offered to let me take it home the first time I looked at it.
I like to set my payments up to.......... one payment and done.
We have not had a car/truck/bike payment in 28 plus years.
But that would be why this is my first "new" bike.
