My dad is the best rider I know, hes taught MSf classes, his 99 Ultra has 120K on it & we live in MI (6-8 mo riding season tops) He is very deserving of a new ultra but lack of funds have kept him from getting one, then luck hit! At a Harley rally here in MI my mom (who is a pasenger, not a rider) Won a 2007 Deluxe. They are able to trade in the deluxe for $16,000 & our local dealer gave my dad $7500 for his 99 ultra w/ 120K on it (which i thought was very fair) They are going to get an '08 Ultra late Aug early Sept. They are super excited! cant wait to see it (& ride it lol) He ordered it this week 08 Candy red Sunglo Ultra w/ no security (dad hates alarms) He wil use the extra money he has for some accessories like hwy pegs & a tour pack rack etc. Congrats POPS!

 

Good deal! Sometimes people do get what they deserve! Does he have to pay taxes on it as though it were winnings?

 

Very Cool!

 

That's damn cool.Sounds like he deserves it and will enjoy the hell out of it.Tell him congrats for us.

 

Yeah Bob he will its like $6500 in taxes & such but the $7500 he got on his old bike covers that & then some, he'll have to take out a small loan to get a new bike less than $100 a mo

 

Good for your pop. I am really happy for him. I am just not lucky in that kind of stuff. I use to work at a casino, and after I quit and went to another, I had a lot of friends still at the old casino. They had this deal where they were giving away 6 harleys in six weeks. They gave me books and books of entries. I would wager I had two or three for every other one in the bin, and I didn't win squat. Guess, I was blessed with a beautiful family and that is enough. But a free bike would have been sweet.

 

Outstanding for your Dad!

 

Tell your dad congrats for us! That is completely awesome! I am sure he is going to love his new bike. I bet he is just smiling from ear to ear!
