RE: Anyone else drive a beater so they can pay for their Harley?
1969 Camaro is the only other rig I have of my own. The state issues me a car to drive everyday so I don't need anything else.
My wife has her own cage to drive, 2500HD 4X4 Quad cab with an 8' bed! She likes 'em big and long!!!

I wouldn't call it a beater, I drive a 2003 F-250 6.0 Liter Diesel extended cab short bed. The wife drives a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Her car is fun around town and we use the truck to pull a 34 foot 5th wheel.

92 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup, pretty fair shape, sounds good. Always have someone wanting to buy it, but its paid for and I have no intentions of letting the ol girl go. She sually sits thru the riding season, unless wife is needing to haul something. Still got a few payments on the wife's SUV, but that is a whole new thread, don't get me started.

2000 Ford F-150. It's paid for and so is my scoot.
I have worked out of it everyday for the last 7 years. 160k and still runs like a champ.
I leave the car payments to the OL so her and the kids have alate model ride at all times.

RE: Anyone else drive a beater so they can pay for their Harley?
I was driving my full size Chevy pickup daily...
I picked up a Toyota Corolla and the savings in gas each month is more that my payment on the bike.
I save $300 a month driving this little car to work. It gets almost 30 MPG around town, like 36 on the highway. My truck got 12 MPG.
I pay $250 on the Bob. This was a good choice.

RE: Anyone else drive a beater so they can pay for their Harley?
I paid cash for the bike ('98 FXDS) so I never had a payment on that. My winter ride is a '94 Saturn SL2 that I've managed to put 20k on in the 4 years I've owned it. she gets oiled, lubed and checked out every fall before riding season stops then it's just gas-n-go till riding season starts again. It actuall gets cob webs and dust in it during the off season! This summer it'll either get sold or a new windshield, wheel bearing, exhaust, and cooling fan.
Wife drives a '97 Jeep G.C., runs and drives great, she'll be keeping it for awhile longer.
