Time to upgrade those also. I know I've seen blue Vette's out there. 

I debated between blue and white when I bought this Vette.  The blue on the 14 Vette is fantastic.

They make the Z06 in blue!

I know.  My long range plan is to trade this bette for a 17 Z06, most likely it will be white again, color just works well on this car.

Blue bike soon!

Um that's the base model.  The Corvette tax is a lot higher than the harley tax.  MSRP on a well equipped 14, with all the performance options and the upgraded interior to match what you get with a CVO Ultra, well its Just over 70K msrp in Jan 14, and now its just over 74K for the exact same car.

I have owned mine since January, ordered it back in October.  I love the car, but if I could only have the bike or the car, the car would be gone.  I have 5200 or so mile on the Vette.  I put 5600 miles on the Skunk on my Sturgis trip this year.


Don't get me wrong the car is a blast, My trip to mi I averaged 29 mpg in it, and it is fast.  But I will still chose a motorcycle every day.

Are you a real life Tony Montana?

Anyone else think the tank emblems on the new SERGU look like they're too low?

You have a point there, however it could just be the colour scheme making it look low.

They look fine to me . It's the paint scheme that makes it look different.

Mike, are you gonna bring a new Blue Road Glide to Maggie Valley?

Would be nice but I don't expect it to be in before then

Ship date is 1 Sept 2014 for the Blue my name is on.  Fullsac DX pipe, 2,25 cores, perforated screens and TTS tuner should be at the house on 3 Sept, which will be before the bike shows up.

My Sunset/Carbon shipped on the 28th and should be here Tuesday.   I'll be doing the same enhancements.

Prices are also getting ridiculous.

i don't know that prices are so much as getting ridiculous as they are all over the map.  in 2014, a vivid black street glide was $20,399.  this year, it's $20,599.  two hundred bucks i can swallow.  but the street glide special was $22,499 in 2014, and $22,899.  $400 is getting up there.  but then you look at the color option, 2014 $23,009 compared to $23,999.  now you're talking about $900....  wtf?  is the green paint really that much more expensive?

the cvo limited only went up $400.....

Gonna be interesting trying to change the bars on these. They're pinned in a few places allowing very limited movement. I've got a few pix on my phone that I need to UL.
St Charles HD has an orange RGS they're blacking out and has aftermarket bars on it but the tech couldn't say much about removing those pins as the MoCo rep was standing real close.

Bars are now 1.25" the whole way through with no stepdown. Might take the aftermarket a little time to catch up to this. I did not remember to ask the tech what bars he put on it.

And now for the good news. NO MORE HOOKS holding the fairing on One bolt on the T/S and about a 10 other ones including under the speaker cover. Then the vent portion has to come off. Basically it's a 2 piece outer fairing.
