If it makes you happy, get the Glide. We all may not be here tomorrow, so enjoy today.

...at least you're not looking at 25% (and all that goes with)

Right, and if the worst happens the wife is left with $300 a month payments for up to 5 years on something she's unlikely to give a damn about.
But what the hell, you're in the same situation now anyway and she won't ride with you so why not.
Personally, if I cannot pay cash I won't finance a toy for more than 3 years and a car for more than 4.

Well....no deal.
2018 Street Glide with ABS.
Black in color

Dealer asking $25k
Seems high to me . They say they are paying off my bike but I think they are adding about $2k

Street Glide was hard to get used to. Seemed to be sitting sooo high after riding the breakout. After about 20 min it was fun to ride it. The Road glide was a much better bike but not as fun.
I had to walk away. Even with 2.99% @ 72 months was still $425/mo.
I appreciate the people who can afford to finance for less time but that it not an option for me.

Good times....Will just rock out with my breakout

Sorry it fell through man. Who knows, a low mileage, lower priced 2015 or 16 may come your way?

Honestly if your at 4 years plus on your current, 4 year old bike, you're probably upside down. While the dealer may pay off your note they certainly will factor back in the difference between what the bikes worth and what they paid off and add that to the cost of the new bike.
Keeping what you have until you're right side up and then look for a nice low mileage garage queen. Best of both worlds without going nuts financially.

Sounds like the best plan.

Hopefully someday there will be a RG in my future.

Thanks everyone. I enjoyed the conversation.
Now.....it's 5:30AM and 59 Degrees outside here in Indiana....Time to ride to work
