So what happens to the bike you have? Keep it? Trade it?

Don't do it Bev. You have a better bike right now. What can it do that yours can't? Really.... maybe a little more convenient, but with all the known problems is it really worth it? You may get a good one or you may get a lemon. It is a fact there are both. Keep you ride as it is a proven. HD is making me wonder as of late. Wait to see the reports on the 08's. Time will tell and the deals will be better. I think you have the best already.[8D]

JohnT - To answer your question. I went from riding weekends to riding daily and longer rides then I expected. Been considering a touring bike regardless (I have some back issues too). Not ready to lose the $$$ but want a bit better ride.

RE: It's soooo tempting
I hear ya, sister! I had a very similar experience this weekend. I too went into the local dealership, and there saw the new 105th anniversary Wide Glide. The thoughts of trading in my Street Bob started forming in about a nano second. Even talked to the salesman about it. Buuuuuut......I went back to the service dept and picked up my bike, looked at it sitting there in all its Denim Black glory, with it's new black air cleaner cover, black finned bridge covers and horn, then I turned the key in the brand new ignition switch {which is why it was there in the first place} and rode off. It was right about 2nd gear all those thoughts of trading her in kinda faded into the hot Arizona wind. And I was at peace with the universe! I hope you are as happy with your decision.

You owe it to yourself. You've worked hard for what you've got and you deserve it. It's only money, you only live once (unless reincarnation, which I don't believe in,does exist)and I've never seen a trailer hitch on a hearse.
These reasons are why I now am riding again after a long hiatus and I don't regret a thing.

There's always something that will take your money. Grab life while you can--go get the darn bike and put a smile on your face--and your back as well. Don't get old and have a lot of regrets. Yes, it's money, but you'll thank yourself in the long run. As always, Bev, it's your call. And I'm not a frivolous, spend money while you got it in hand kind of guy either.
