Default $40,000 Mistake!!!

I went over to the dealership to pick up a small $10 dollar part and made the huge mistake of wondering over to the new bikes. I hadn't even been to the showroom the last 6 months or so and hadn't really seen this years crop of new bikes in person.

Then I saw it. Damn. It drew me towards it like it had a tractor beam on me. A 2012 CVO Ultra Classic in bright yellow. My heart started pitter pattering and my palms got sweaty and I knew I was in deep kimchi. Before I could escape, the salesman saw the look in my eye and moved in for the kill. He didn't even have to try and sell it. I was mesmerized. I've been very pleased and satisfied with my 2009 Ultra Classic and put some 35,000+ enjoyable miles on it and couldn't have been happier. Until today.

No, I didn't buy it. Yet. I was able to run away and partially come to my senses. I just need to figure out a way of erasing my memory and completely forgetting how it made me feel sitting on it before it's to late.

$40,000 they are asking for it as configured. For a bike? Thats crazy!!!
More than double the price of mine now. I know I am not going to sleep very well tonight.

It looks something like this in case you were wondering...

Only money I could save for a better retirement. It's not like I'm Warren Buffett in my bank account here.

Very nice...BUT...

You would think for that kinda money...it would have the enhanced hinges on the tour pak...instead of those cheap tin ones it has...also they forget to put the air wing LED light in the air wing luggage rack.

Again for that money you would think they would put all chrome bolts holding all those chrome covers on the 110 engine...instead of those cad plated allen bolts. I just do not understand why they do that. I am working up to replace them all on my Limited.

They always gonna leave the door open on some accessories no matter what you buy.
