It could have been mine but ....
« on: September 03, 2014, 09:01:04 PM »

This morning I called my dealer to change my order from Red to Blue, and he called back about 2 hours later with Good, Good, and Good news. 1st was my order was changed, 2nd was it will be here 2 weeks ahead (15 Sep ship date) of my Red order, and 3rd they just got in a Carbon Dust / Autumn Sunset and I can have it.  So me the wife up there to check it out. The wife liked it but it was up to me. I decided to pass on it and wait for the blue for one reason.  I think the color choices are exceptional and look outstanding, but I wish Harley would have made Autumn Sunset the primary color with Carbon Dust as the secondary. When you look from the rear, it looks like a black bike since the inner fairing, tank, and tourpak lid is all black.  Bottom line was it really didn't "wow" me; I sure hope the blue does. 

Anyway ... Carbon Dust / Autumn Sunset available at Tampa HD

If you really really like BLUE, it will WOW you.

The blue really looks great in that picture.  I hope to see it in person when they off load the truck today.  Just traded my Skunk on it.  The truck is usually on Thursdays, so I hope it is this week, and not Friday like it occasionally is.  Sure hope it wow's me in person!

Dave, can't believe you are skunk-less.  However, if the blue is as nice in person as it looks in the pictures we've seen so far, I think you will be happy.  Good looking scooter you are getting....

Still, no skunk????  You will have to change out all your "fleet" to match again..... ;D :2vrolijk_21:

From these pictures the blue looks very close to the Blue I was looking at on the Vette.  Blue has always been my favorite color, thought hard about the 12 CVO RG in blue but went white as it poped more.

I sure can afford to change out the Fleet.

First time in my life I ever felt sick about leaving the dealer my trade in CVO....  Left it yesterday and I still feel a little ill.

If it's still over there on Sunday, I'll go by and say Hi to it from ya.
I know how you feel, however.  Not planning on getting rid of Ginger anytime soon but know when that day comes, it will be bitter sweet.  Sure do like my '12 SESG.....

Whomever gets that bike will be getting a great scooter not only with the color but with all your did to it.  Hopefully, it will find a new owner that can appreciate all that and take as good care of it as you have.

A blue vette.....hmmmmm.  Do they make the Evoque in that same dark blue?????

I'm with you and the above pic does show I made the right choice not to by the one yesterday.  Trading in the '14 Limited will be easy, except for the swift kick in the nuts when they tell me the trade in value.

My dealer has a Blue CVO RG coming in sometime after the 8th. No one has a deposit on it yet, still deciding if i need to trade my CVO Limited in on it. I sold my 2011 CVO RG last year & been regretting it since. I recently rode the RG Special it was good except the seat  was horrible & it sat too low for me. Other than that it was good, the handlebars were not bad either. Dealer gave me trade in price of around $30-31K on my CVO Limited. Plus dealer is at MSRP plus setup & freight on CVO RG. I'm thinking its a low trade in, but he still has some new 2014 CVO Limited's on floor so that may hurt me some. I just wanna see the BLUE in person first...

Whoops, hit something on the ipad and posted an incomplete posting - as I was saying, loved my 08 FLTR (bought in 09 as a left over from the 08 collapse) put 80k kms on her in a couple of years and then traded her in on a 2013 CVO typhoon maroon Cuse8, beautiful bike but not nearly as much fun as the RG. Put down a deposit on the 2015 blue cvo this morning, dealer is not sure on delivery dates! Here is my old girl

It was there Sunday, they rolled it out for some one to see it in the Sun.  A friend took pictures and sent them to me, letting me know it was ready to be delivered to me this morning.

Some one will get a nice bike when they get my skunk, lots of miles but well cared for and lots of upgrades in powder coating and so on.
