Macon HD has one on the floor.  Im going for a looksee tomarrow.  Its a Burgundy.  I havent seen one in person, so Im looking forward to seeing it.

Im trying to talk my misses into it, but she is way more thrifty than I am.

They are beautiful bikes.  My fingers are crossed that you can talk the wife into it, although maybe she will see it and buy it for you......

[D-N-D]

Go for it, Good Luck !!!!!

[Racerdj]

Don't go and look at it!  I made that mistake and thought even the best pictures didn't show off the stunning paint. I am waiting on mine now.

It's only money....

Be safe heading to Macon and please let us know how the trip went.  Pictures are worth 1,000 words so save some typing and post dem pics!

Leave her home.  Take the heat after the papers are signed and the bike is in your garage.  It'll pass..

Go for it. That color is stunning in person.  Have them bring it outside so you can see it in the sun.

Thanks, its only 2.5 miles to the dealership.

Ive never bought a new Harley, I like to wait 4-5 years and get them 2/3 price-ish, like my 06 SEUC with 5,000 miles, well 10,000 miles now for 20k OTD  In 06 that bike would have been close to 37k OTD.

Im 52 years old and have been retired for 3 years, to stay that way I have to be somewhat thrifty.  The misses is 47 and has 4 years to go to get a pension at age 60, so she is even more thrifty than me.

On the other hand, there is no guarentee that either of us will be here tomorrow.  Im more of a carpe diem personality, she is more of a caveat emptor personality.

Ive been looking at SERKs and I havent seen many nice used ones for sale.  Often, many of the SE parts get taken off and replaced with aftermarket parts.  IMO that decreases value and makes the bike less desirable.

It never hurts to look.

Just saw one in Blue at Twin Cities HD south in Blaine

Likewise, but don't give up the search.  You've got a huge market in Atlanta and then south in Jax, Tallahassee and Orlando.  Don't stop there either, you could look West to Birmingham and Huntsville too.  It would be worth the road trip to find what you want.  I bought my '07 Ultra last year from LA Harley Davidson off of a Graig's List add.  It's been great riding this past year for the last 15,000 miles.  This bike has been flawless and fun.  The only work I've had to do is to make it better.  This does not decrease the value.  Keep old parts if you worry about that. 

I hope you dig deeper and find your dream bike.  Now, more than ever, while you can get out and do what you can to enjoy life.  At 61, I'm close to retiring and too have concerns for the future, but we can't ride forever and I"m gonna as long as I can.  I wish you luck!

BTW: From '86-2000, I worked as a consulting engineer with AT&T (then Southern Bell aka-BellSouth) in Georgia, including Macon, but lived in Fayetteville (Atlanta) at the time.  Some great roads in Georgia bro, go get em!  Good luck!

This one is not a Road King, but Softail Convertibles are sweet rides too:  http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/mcy/3259006137.html  This one in in Suwanee, just north of Atlanta.

The SERK is for the misses.  She has an 07 RKC now.

Chad is the sales manager there, he has always been good to us and I have always thought that we got a fair deal from them.

He made us an offer and it was about 3k better than I thought it would be, so she is picking it up a noon tomorrow and we are heading down to Panama City for Thunder on the Beach.

We are paying MSRP + freight + 200 doc + TTL - the 07 RKC @ 3.99%/48 months.

This may be the first 2013 SERK bought by a lady rider.

Pics when we get home Sunday night.

She is a beauty. We have one on the floor here in Kazoo also.

Good luck !

Congrats bm and to the misses, too.  Great y'all got it and yep, do post some pics.  Enjoy Panama and the ride down/back.
