I left with a Kia optima and came back with a mustang gt. Which in turn was traded away in a years time urged on by the wrath of Mary cuz she wasn’t privy to the dealings. I’ll never do that **** again.

Well fellas, I did the deed. Dropped $2k as the deposit, but that goes to the purchase price. They found the bike at a different dealer and traded out one of theirs for this one.

Motorcycle prices sure have gone up! I'm sweating on this one.

And Bob, I've done it to her twice and I'll never do it again.

Mick, yes. Stan, yes. Mick, yes. Haha

Just returned from the Leesburg Bike Fest. Lots going there, got the tshirt. We walked the 5-6 blocks of activities and vendors then stopped in at a joint right in the middle for lunch and an adult beverage. The food and service was spectacular. Then we went the main stage on the east end of town and watched the band for awhile and had another beverage.

My wife can say some funny things sometimes. We were behind a couple of bikes leaving the downtown area and she asked me if I could tell whether the one on the right was a man or woman. I replied, "Not sure, these days it could go either way." There was a short pause and she replied, "I guess it could be a Bud Light."

2 years ago on our trip to North Carolina, we stopped in Little Rock and one of my best friends Snowman decided to buy a new Indian Touring bike, while they were changing the rear tire on his Victory Vision. His tire wasn't blown, he just got paranoid about it. Funniest thing. It was in my shop 3 weeks before changing his front tire (for free). He said his rear tire was fine for the trip, and it was, till he passed me just as we were getting into LR and pulled over.

He's on the phone with his wife, they're drawing up the paperwork, then they hand him the bill for the rear tire only change....$640.00......I see him turn 3 shades of red....

BTW I'm comfortably stretched out in the Indian Dealerships nice waiting area...TV...recliner....until I see them hand Snowman that paper and him turn red, then I decided to insert myself in the conversation....

With my arm around him I let the salesman know his bike was on a lift 3 weeks before, but for some reason we didn't put on a rear tire...........he loves me but he wasn't amused.....

Well, he didn't buy that Indian, he's on a Harley Ultra Limited now.

Afternoon Woodrow's.....

Perusing the forum and chewing on a stick of red licorice. Can't recall the last time I've had licorice.
