Now buy yourself a nice red Ducati 900. Or if you are of a more sedate mind, buy the Harley that you always wanted. You know you do, just submit to the cadence of the Hawg V twin music.
I bought the Ducati and never regretted it. Not for a minute. You might buy the Hawg and never regret it. Right now is the good time to buy a bike, end of season. Go for it, you know you want it, you know you deserve it.
I used the above rationale to buy over 40 motorcycles. I never regretted any of them.
Marty, Craigslist of all things; put up an ad and picture last night, within four hours had three inquiries and one of them bought it. And had another inquiry by the time I got home from taking care of the title.
And it'll have to be a used bike; looking around at new just about gave me a case of the vapors. I HATE looking at new vehicles; I never do until I need one, and I suffer sticker shock.
And I have a clear conscience on the Vulcan, I had the problems listed in the ad, so they knew what they were getting. Except I just remembered I forgot to take the throttle lock off, dammit.
Craigslist of all things... . Yeah, my son and his wife got rid of a sofa and loveseat recently posting on Craigslist. Those items left the premises quick too. . And it'll have to be a used bike... . Yeah I got a chuckle, or maybe it was a gasp, out of that link BigDick posted in his comment. 13 grand for a almost vertical twin? I know, I know, it's ~1600cc monster, but still? Wow! Sticker shock to the nth degree. .

Heck man, that was quick. How'd you manage to unload, erh, I mean SELL that bike so fast?

Son got me to go to the local BMW/Ducati dealer; BLEEP! Found a wonderful bike I liked, the base version is $14k. Ain't gonna happen.
Local Triumph/Suzuki dealer has some nice bikes of both, including that Triumph; way out of reach.
Roger, I can honestly say that since I was about 18 I have not wanted a Harley. Period.
Yep, just checked Craig's List Dallas for Vulcan Classics.
At least five very low mileage ones there for 5K and under.
