There are a few items one should NEVER sell if one does not HAVE to. Motorcycles, classic cars, and guns. Unless ya hafta sell one to egt a better one DONT!
Should have kept it. Yes you can still buy another and add to the collection but it will not be the 03. It is my plan to add another bike probably in 09. Sounds like you did get your money though. A friend of mine traded an 03 FB with 3,000 miles on it for an 07 SG. They gave him 9,000 for it. He dang sure should have kept that one. But... life goes on and you do have a bike.
Once owned a Stroker Shovel for over 10 yrs.For years afterward I missed that bike because of the memories.Now with a couple of new Hot Rods the Shovel is a faded memory.
