I do like the paint.

I want the taller sissy bar and the extended forwards will stretch me out to far.

I had to stay home this weekend so I didn't wander by strokers and spend money.

Having my bike in the shop for so long drives me a little loopy. :loony:

On another note, the warranty is gone and it still has the TP rocker boxes. I know some have had no issues with theirs but something to consider.

Personally I wish Strokers well in getting top dollar.....just means our bikes might retain their value. My 03 Chopper cost me $25k new in 03 with a late yr end discount.........I like that I can buy standard HD aftermarket parts.....and the old school parts BDM used in 03. It's like my kid/puppy, just because something pretty comes along you don't dump it for another....It's still worth the same to me. :zz2cents:

Not a matter of someone having too much money, if that were the case, we all got too much and should be riding Hondas.:moped:

'05 is as far as I will go back. I want the right side drive.

My leg hits the primary on most fat tired left side drive bikes. And if my leg hits I doubt the bike will be balanced for me.

Ride safe,

You might get a good deal out of it. Just because it's marked up doesn't mean that is the only price they are going to take. Any used delership bikes/cars/trucks is going to stack the price then you get down to dealing.
Good luck and hope you get it at a good price.

:cheers:

Low Down Chop Shop
My buddy just sold his 2005 Chopper with cooler paint that that. It had all updates done, a bandit clutch, pipes, sissy bar. It had 10,000 miles on it and sold for $18,000.

I am afraid to talk to them.

I really don't need two expensive bikes. More importantly I have no place to store it.

I also respect the fact that it is not cool to waste their time if I am not going to buy.

It is a sweet looking ride, though.

You're not wasting their time - that's their job! Just do what your heart, head, and wallet tell you!

Let's see the kid in me wants my toy.

My heart is confused as this has been a bad day (I found out today that one of my co-workers died of natural causes Friday night), but I realise more than ever that life is fragile and we need to live for today.

My wallet is crying uncle as I just got back from a two week Germany vacation.

But, I think the real issue is where to park it......there is just not enough room in my mess of a garage (failed '72 Mach 1 restoration) to park two bikes. I have a patio, but going through the grass to get to it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Hopefully they will get my bike put back together by the middle of next week and I can hold back the need for a scooter until then.

Being a responsible adult really blows. :bang:

Sorry to hear about your co-worker but if you WANT it call them ask for Frank and just tell him you are serious but just ask him how low he will or can go below the price he's a cool man and i'm sure respects a man that wants to deal with him thats his job...Like the price on the bike bdmridgeback posted on the cheaper bike everyone knows you can get a better deal from an individual than a business,but if you like a certain bike it's worth more to you than a cheaper one thats just o.k to you....

The next few days and weeks will be weird.

We (the team I am on) have to go through mandatory grief counseling today.

No word on arrangements yet. He was sick (emphysema) and we knew he was not going to be around forever, but all of us expected for him to go on disability and be at home or in a care facility.

Apparently he went out with friends and was at a friends house when it happened. He was gone quick so at least it was not a prolonged painful departure and he was around his friends before he passed.

Still the suddenness is the shocker.

I may have to rent or borrow a bike, hell I may go at lunch and buy the chopper. I just don't know. I do know that I need to get some "me" time that I can only seem to get riding solo for a while.

I have always had issues with separation and death after my Dad passed.

People comment about the skulls I have on my leathers, clothes and what not. But to me it is a constant reminder that we never know when it will come, but that it is inevitable that it will come so live your life the way you want and only apologise if your heart says you are wrong.

OK. I got to deep on an off topic. At least it is my own thread. :hi:

Depending on what happens today, I may go by and see if they have the bike. I guess worst thing that could happen is it is out of my price range.
