Greetings from a new 2008 SERK !
« on: September 15, 2008, 10:03:08 PM »
Wanted to introduce myself and a proud new owner of a 2008 SERK!

This was a replacement for my softail that went to Hog Heaven due to a woman broadsiding me while talking on the phone...  Weeks in the hosp with multiple leg fractures have not been a good time.  But I must say my gear saved my ass...  She hit me right on the engine guard and pinned it back on my ankle... Had better days....

Spent a long time chroming and personalizing the heritage out,  and a day after getting 80Spokes,  it was all over.... That killed me!!!. 

Have been looking for a new ride for the months I have been recouping (still 10+ months before I can ride)  and looked at everything from springers to streetglides... Always loved the RK.  Freinds went to the 105th and told me about the ABS demonstration,  and I was then sold....  Ever since I saw them when they came out I wanted a SERK,  but the $$$ was beyond me...

I was stalking at my local dealer when he told me about some guy who just traded in a bike to a independant dealer....  2008 SERK,  6k+ in chrome and performance work etc...  231 Miles and they wanted $27k.....  Needless to say eventho I really was just shopping I didnt have a choice...  CVO made me do it!!!!!

She will sit in the garage till the doc clears me.  Still have a few surgeries to go,  but I am 99% sure I will get back on the horse.  But in the meantime I have something waiting for me :) 

I am worried about the recalls,  as I cant take her to the dealer till next year...  Couldnt get the Harley extended,  but got one from Pinnacle that covers the same for 7 years...

Worse case,  I am sure someone on this board will take her next year for 25k... (NOT!)

Glad I found this group,   as the posts I have made have gotten great response!  Talking about the accident helps alot too...

I do have a post asking for reccomendations on gear,  as this time $$ is no object in covering my arse!!!

Welcome aboard from central Illinois! One word of warning though, this site tends to cost members lots of $$ in upgrades. If there is something out there for your bike, you will hear about it here.
