Default i want a Harley...

long story short, i took my girl to the jewelry store over the weekend but promptly after, we went to the H-D dealer....

there was a sportster there that i liked but not as much as the Softtails.... now i wanna get a Night Train :happysad:

my credit union offers 10 year loans on new bikes but that still puts my payment ~ 175 with zero down

need a new job that pays more so i can get a Night Train h:

Nasty.

Harley's don't have throttles, they have volume controls.

You twist it, they get louder and keep moving along at the same (slow) speed.

It's like the ricer of motorcycles.

I don't buy your fastest production bike, even in first gear, line. Not at all. But then, I'm sure you were joking.

And so was I, I know you want the Harley to cruise on -- not to race or ride. And for that, they truly are one of your best choices.
