I "pulled the trigger" today on a deal for another bike. (Never had TWO hogs at the same time...I'm gonna think I'm rich or sump'n!) I found a '93 FLHTCU with low miles, good maintenance and a steal of a price, and it's right-place right-time. 80 inch EVO five-speed Electra Glide...it even has the armchair for the wife.

Pics to follow as soon as I get her home...and more pics when we take off up the coast next summer. I figger, since I wear trifocals now, I'm officially old, and oughta have a bagger.

 

Nice....that Evo will give your ears a bit more enjoyment over the fuelie Dyna.
(went from an 06 Dyna to an '83 Shovel myself..and yes...an old mans Glide).

 

Gimp...what kind of gun did you use?

But me a bike while you're buying stuff.

 

Pics to follow as soon as I get her home..............Are you home yet?

 

BLAM!! And damn!

Talked to the dude.
Told him I was on the way, talked the wife into driving me there and driving the truck home, we drove all the way to Golden Valley (140 miles one-way) and dude says "Just sold it." Not even a sorry for letting me drive that whole distance!

There ain't no smilies effective enough to express my flaming-breath-roaring-anger.

 

I try never to make a purchase with me or the seller under duress. **** tends to happen after.


But my carry piece is a Zastava CZ999C chambered for .40 S&W, if you were really curious. It's a sweet piece, closest thing to a Sig P226 at half the price.




How do I but you a bike?

 

Sweet lookin' ride you got there.

Don't get me wrong...I have no quibbles with the Dyna except the lack of luxury for the passenger. I'm okay to do 500 miles or more a day for days on end...she's -- not so much. Her idea of a vacation is driving a motorhome (to have a potty nearby on the road) but staying at luxury hotels. Talking her into this trip was a major step forward, and I mean to do it however hard I have to work to get that new bagger. I'll find another, it'll be the right one and I'll manage to do it right.

Meanwhile, though...

 

That sucks...I would have been on fire...he knew you were on the way but sold it anyway! what a douche lord.
