My rental is from Chester's HD.

That's good to know as I'll be in Phoenix/Scottsdale (Buddy Stubbs HD neck of the woods) in March on biz.

I'm heading out next week to see the parents in AZ. If you're a HOG member rental costs are $25 to $35 a day cheaper for a heritage classic rental in AZ. HOG charges a flat fee for rentals $100 for softails and dynas a day no extra or hidden costs. Hawaii may be slightly higher. I too am frugal with my money.The $25 a day savings will buy my coffee and gas.

You haven't thought of the obvious? You talk about the money could be spent on a second bike when you get back. HELLO!!!!!
You call ahead to local dealer. Order your new scoot the way you want it. Ride it anytime you want for the 6 or 8 weeks. Take it back to the dealer and have him ship it back to Austin. Problem solved. Your just not thinking outside the box.

As good an idea as it sounds.......on paper. But this ol' boy's next HD is coming from the same place that his last one came from: Dallas, Texas!

Sad that we all have to travel to get our HD. As you know I live up here and my bike came from Mason City, Iowa. Seems the dealers get a kick out of selling to some one outside their area, but wont give the local buyer crap.

With that kind of dealer loyalty you must get treated better than I do at mine.

Seriously though, the folks in Dallas treated me first rate each and everytime I stopped by the place while in the area on business. And this was before I bought a bike from them. I'd just stop in to check things out, maybe buy a t-shirt or what have you. The manner in which they handled the sale and service after the sale was excellent. To this day, I get calls from 'someone' at the dealership every now and again to see how things are going with the bike and/or to invite me to any special events they have going on at the shop. Yep, they'll definitely sell me my second bike.

I guess I'll cruise down I35 for my next one then. It's only about 1000 miles and I probably would get treated better. The stealer that is 10 miles from me is horrible, I had to go 60 miles for a decent deal and get treated with an ounce of respect.
