Yeah keep it to yourself and enjoy...let's see some pics dude!

I'd keep it real quiet for a while. Depending on your State's consumer laws, they may just stick it to you. For instance, in some States, either party can cancel the deal within a certain time frame. Here, I believe it's 72 hours.

Congrats on the find. And remember, Karma is a bitch. Don't do something that will come back and bite you.

Don't get carried away, big boy. The original owner got a reasonable trade-in, you got a good deal on a bike you wanted, and the dealer made money on both ends, on the trade and the new whatever the original owner bought. Everybody won. Plus, that dealer probably didn't want that Harley sitting on the floor for too long as not many potential customers would walk into that dealer looking for a Harley in the first place.

Congrats on the new scoot!

Oh and I believe RideNow owns both Arrowhead HD and Chandler HD...

But, what are you going to do with a $275 gift card and 25% off for accessories at a Suz/Yam/CanAm/Polaris dealer?

What Harley dealership(s) do they (co)own? I know it's not Buddy Stubbs.

Where are you from again?
That just ain't right....

Except that he's not in Seattle.

Typically bikes go for more money in states where you can ride all year around.
