i WAS RIDING AN 08 Street Bob and while at the Harley shop here in Ga today a joke turned into an great upgrade.

I have to have a reflective vest to ride on base, so after looking around town, I found that the Icon vests are 10 bucks more expensive than the harley vest. So I loaded up the wife and kids and headed the hour and a half ride to Tifton HD to get me a vest. Made our purchase and was browsing around looking at stuff for my Street Bob and My wife is talking to the sales man about a bike for her (second reason we were there) We are screwing arounf looking at the Cross bones and Road kings, and she sat on the road king (sales guy had to hold the bike up so she could sit on it, she cant touch the ground) and she really liked it. So he looked at me, and said what would it take to put you on this bike today? My wife, let me say this again, MY WIFE ANSWERED HIM, Pay off his bike, no down payment, and keep the payment the same, He walked off 10 min later he came back and said So, how do you like your new bike, lets go fill out the paperwork. As we sat down, they called for the bike to go to service.

Isnt it great, how you go to shop for a 45.00 vest and come home with a 19k new bike? Cool thing is, my ol lady is just as into it as I am, so she is cool with me buying it. We went for about an hour or so ride around town tonight, showing it off to my buds here, and the ride is amazing over the street bob, Man I wished I would have done this years ago...

Nice deal! now lets see some pics

 

I take it you didn't owe much on your bike and had a pretty high payment.

 

Ill get picks up sometime this week, Inspection at work going to kill the week.

I dont think it was what I owed, I think that when a sales guy gets hungry to sale a bike they will do what it takes. He has only sold 3 bikes this month, and by hungry, I mean he needs money for food. Sales guy and Finance lady had both said it was a very slow month.

 

Well wish you all the best on the New Ride and excellent Choice with the King .. HD Dealers are not into the business of losing money ..So have to assume you have the same payment but with a few years extra tagged on to pay for it .. Pics would be nice as well..

 

Congrats, Hope you both have fun!

 

Yeah, i'm all about the need for pics too! I am about to jump the fence and get me the new 2010 RoadKing. Im in Iraq and will return to Hood in December. Trading in my 02 Sporty 883. Best part is the dealer back at Fort Hood, TX told me to send him the Quote from the Military sales here and he'd meet it. I did, and he went 200 bucks below! You got a great wifey. Mines bought her a 09 Sporty 1200 in August and loves to ride. Stay safe fella and Congrats!

 

Yeah that was a real expensive vest ya got there. And I'm a little confused. You said you were looking at bikes for the wife. She was sitting on the RK. She called the shots. So is the RK yours or hers???

 

These are the same exact words I've been using since I traded in my Low Rider last month!

Congrats on the new King, you're going to love it!

 

Congrats on the new King, you will love it. I traded my Street Bob for a Road Glide. Well my wife did it for me without me knowing. Stopped by to see her (she worked part time at Manchester HD) and she says come with me, and out back of the Harley shop there sat my new Road glide. Talk about a wife that is into it. By The way Jake, what did you trade in for. I loved your LR.
