Interesting read. I paid cash, screw it - let's ride.

Same here!
Having gone thru difficult times in the distant past I learned that cash is the only way.
You may not be able to afford the tag or the insurance but you never have to worry about someone trying to come get it.
It can always sit in the garage and be waxed!

The credit squeeze has had a big impact on my income. I knew the boom years weren't going to last forever. I have Ben through a lot of good and bad times .These are about as bad as I can remember. I hope we have some relief soon KB

You know, this site means a lot to me an I like, admire, respect and enjoy it's members and being a part of it. But I have to say, at times when the issue of money comes up, I feel somehow less equal than a lot of people Why ? Because I do buy things on credit. I do use credit cards, I do carry a balance on some of those. And I don't think that makes me a bad person or that I'm part of the reason for the failing economy. I have always paid my bills - on time and in full. I expect that if I can come up with $10k that isn't needed in other areas of my life, I will take a loan from H-D Credit and buy a new motorcycle to leave in Maine. I thinking lately that perhaps rather than buy a new 09 SERG, I find a dealer that has a nice used CVO model I like. Maybe something in the $15k range. In any event, use of credit will be involved and I will not feel ashamed to do so. Sorry if this seems like a rant, but it's been weighing on me for some time and I am making some clear the air posts today - - - come what may. I am nothing if I am not open, candid and honest in my feelings about things.

   There are millions of people who have a lot more money than I but there are very few any happier than I. Just because someone has more money than me doesn't make them better off..KB

Don't sweat it Brian....I'm in the same boat....the truck, CVO, and RV are all financed...I'm not ashamed to admit it...If I waited to pay cash for the big things in life, I'd never be able to get the big things...so I don't sweat it...like you I have an almost perfect credit score and always pay my bills on time and never miss one...and you know what, I still enjoy life just as much as those that can pay cash for everything...

Here's the deal, guys.  Ol' Maudie is paid for, lock stock, and barrell, if you get my drift.  Was, since day one.  Probably somewhere around 60 Large, all in, considering everything, is what I have in that Ol' Motorsickle.  A small price for all the fun I've had.  That said, I'd do it again, and probably will, to experience the same fun all over again.  Money was meant to spend, pure and simple.  As long as I can smile and talk, I will always make a $.  Ain't too many Motorsickles out there that will pass that that Ol' Ultra Classic, either.  Ask anybody that has had the opportunity to try.    May not be a CVO, but that Ol' Harley will Stroll.  There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

Ole Brother Hubbard,

That said, I'd do it again, and probably will, to experience the same fun all over again. 

What do you mean PROBABLY WILL ? ? ?

Be fair to ole Maudie now she is old and tired, she has been passed, she has been split, and as many times as Otis has been up and around that ole Girl maybe it is time to retire her completely and not just replace the motor again  

I look forward to seeing you and your 131 surprise in March   or is it really still a surprise! haha.   
           

I think this lesson was already TAUGHT.

I refuse to ever again be chastised for taking a thread off topic after reading the above post in light of the subject of this thread.

Brian,

Eventually this will get back on topic, they usually do at some point.

Besides it was bait laid out there to be had.

         The question in my mind here though is who's the fish and who's the fisherman ?

Brian,

He hasn't replied to the bait so he aint on the hook, thus we cant qualify him as a fish, YET.   Please continue stirring, we might just get a reaction.

To take this way off topic (I can do that, I started this thread!) I see you have a new motorcycle in your avatar. Okay, I guess we can bring it back around by your telling us how you traded the SEUC2 in on it.
