If the Silver is what you want, (and it obviously is) then you did the right thing, Don't look back, keep hunting and one will turn up!

Great story!
Good reading!

Wait on the silver.
Silver is the best!

 

Ditto, I love my Silver Bullet..............................

Ouhhh , what a day .
The silver one is also the one i would wait on , if it would be sure that i`ll get one .
And i do ( 5 weeks to go )i hope .
But when there would be no chance of getting a silver one then i would also take a orange or a yellow , wouldn`t matter to me then .
And it sounds that you will get a silver one definitely , am i right ?

Very nice story RickC,

Especially with your search into Boston - I believe the dealership in Boston was Paramount Harley Davidson. The Silver is mine and I ordered it early August - it just arived and I just finished the paper work yesterday - it is purdy. This dealer also has a Yeller on the floor that's been there for almost 2 months with no taker's but the dealer also tipically sells CVO's $3.5 over MSRP. The sales guy said he gets most, if not all calls on the Silver SERG. With this being my third bike from them, the over MSRP was waived (only way I would buy it). I told the owner out right that they are doing themselves a disservice trying to sell CVO's over MSRP with the economy and everything going on, but hey, its not my dealership and I won my fight to get mine at MSRP.

I will say this RickC - don't settle and go for the color you want. I love both the Yellow and Orange but for me, the Silver is timeless and it was what I wanted, although it took a while to get my dream color.

The weather here is nasty and its about to get worse with another 8 inches of the white stuff today - nuff said.

You did good by holding out for the bike/color that you originally intended to purchase. There is no reason to settle for what you would consider to be 2nd best. Once you get your Stardust Silver / Titanium Dust CVO Road Glide, the wait will be worth it. Oh...and good luck with that waiting thing!

I already have a deposit on a silver one at another dealership. It's due in Feb/Mar timeframe. I was just getting impatient...

That's what the other dealer is telling me...

Yeah. Patience has never been my long suit, if you know what I mean...

I Know how you feel. I have a silver SERG on order and the dealer asked me if I would settle for yellow or orange if that was what came in, kind of hinting like you take what you get and like it. Yellow is just not me and I told him that it would be an absolute deal breaker. Orange black I could live with only because or the history of the old racing bikes but silver is the classiest (IMHO)

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!

...the dealer asked me if I would settle for yellow or orange if that was what came in, kind of hinting like you take what you get and like it....

I am told by a close friends who is in sales at a local dealership here that Harley notifies the dealer in advance of how many CVO bikes they are getting and the specifics of each bike, i.e., model, paint color, etc... He tells me that the dealer *always* gets what they are told by Harley... unless they request a change far enough in advance for Harley to do a little "shuffling"...

I was so close to convincing myself that the yellow SERG was a good choice... if the one I'm waiting on turns out to be yellow (or orange) instead of silver... I am going to be one pissed off customer... I gave up the deal of a lifetime on a CVO...
