Do I or Don't I Buy an 09
« on: December 23, 2008, 06:33:37 PM »
Let's see made it almost 5,000 miles on my 07 before it started leaking.  Gaskets were replaced and I made it leak free until i had the 0905 work done in September...almost 2000 miles since the work and still no leaks.  Could the worst be behind me?  Have my eye on a Silver and Blue 09 Ultra...do I or don't I.  What's the old expression better the devil you know or do I boldly go to 2009 and the devils that may be there.  So I pose the question to all.  Do I or Don't I?  By the way my better half has already told me it's ok.

Go for it!
The Silver and Blue's are the very best of the 09's!
After much study and research I pulled the trigger.
And with no regrets!

That one of the reasons I traded my 06 for an 09.
Plus new beefier frame, way better handeling, wider rear tire, etc, etc.

Hellyeah! I wouldn't even give it a second thought, especially if the better half has already pre-approved.

Great feedback from all...the one option I don't have is to keep the 07 and the get the 09.  The better half was clear only one at a time until I retire.  The only problem with that is if I retired I couldn't afford the new one.  This is just adding complexity to the issue.  Buy an 09 work a little longer...retire and keep the 07.  I guess the only logical answer to the question is to:

FLIP A COIN

Since you have a desire for the 09 Silver / Blue, the 07 must not be tripping your trigger anymore. I had an 07 Street Glide when I walked in and saw the 08 SERK Black Diamond / Silver Dust. My trigger was tripped.

To me the decision is do U really WANT that absolutely sexy looking Silver / Blue Ultra? It really is that easy of a decision when you look at it.
