This is interesting. A year ago my wife started chemo therapy for one of the rarest types of breast cancer. We had taken the RG south to put in storage so we could fly down during our nasty winters to ride. So without a bike here for the following riding season she said go buy a new '14 CVO Ultra. She said to me " if I die I don't want some slut you meet spending all my hard earned money!" So we can plan for the future - but have to live for today. Oddly enough she had her best year ever financially as she worked through chemo / radiation................amazing woman!

When I bought my 2013 Anniversary Road King it was by far the most expensive bike I had ever bought and I thought I was mad. But then I saw the CVO RK and had to have it even though it was significantly more again and I lost on the FLHR Anniv. You never know what is round the corner and you have to live for today.

Remember that there was probably someone on the Titanic who refused the sweet trolley.

I remember that commercial and all I can say is I won't be on the porch saying anything like "instead of a Harley I got _______"

I just did a quick search for the grandpa H-D commercial and all I can find is the second "politically corrected version" where grandpa says I spent the money on siding instead. I remember the first version where grandpa blamed grandma by saying no Harley because grandma decided to spend the money on siding instead. And the kid left the porch saying I wonder what grandma is up to?

you mean not everyone says that?

besides, have you priced new caddies lately?

So, my wife and I made our annual pilgrimage to York in September on our '09 CVO Ultra.  We went for the factory open house and took a demo ride on a '15 CVO Limited.  Then she informed me that she really likes this new '15 CVO Limited and we should upgrade!   Being a great hubby, I "never" argue with the wife, because everyone knows that a "happy wife makes a happy life."  We traded the '09 for a '15 and the rest is history.....

I must say, I’ve been going back and forth for months trying to justify getting the RGU CVO.  Yesterday I sat on red (my choice) RGU @ the NYC show and loved it!!!  My mind starting spinning on how to really justify it again.  I can get it, money is not the issue, and I would trade in my current 11 non-CVO RGU, but the thought of buying a bike that is close to the price of my Caddy just blows my mind. 

I always dreamed of owning a CVO and I’m curious if anyone else who owns one also said..”F.. it, you only live once"


Sweetlu read below.

Below are three emails I sent when I was in a quandary about if I should buy the Ivory and Gold Ultra in the local Dealers. I referred to the bike as "The Tart". Jim is a good friend and Paul is the salesman. Needless to say I ended up with the CVO Ultra Road Glide. Not regretted it and except for the height of the damn thing its the best Harley I have had.

Jim
If the good Lord made anything lovelier, except our respective wives of course, then I aint seen it yet.
What's think of this then Jim.
 No, No, I say do not tempt me, get thee behind me Satan.


Jim,
Just to update you on the filthy bitch who was trying to lure me to ride her to heaven.
I asked what the price was, are you sat down, £26,500
I asked how much they would want as well as my bike, are you sat down. £12,500.
She can go to hell, I will stick to what I have and learn to forget the pangs of lust.

Paul,
Thanks for the photographs
Bearing in mind I cannot afford and it's nothing short of a brazen Hussey for tempting me, I have already referred to it as being like a mermaid flashing her tits at the sailors to lure them on to the rocks.
Roughly speaking what would be the deal on the 2010 FLHTK with stage one, V&H Ovals and boot rack be. 6000 miles in blue and black.
 
John

The deal finished up way better than above and we lived happily ever after, well until the next time that is.
