OT...Bought a Harley yesterday!

[Terry Sumner]

Was up to TSI Harley yesterday with my son and saw this gorgeous 2003 100th anniversary Special Edition Screaming Eagle on the sales floor. This bike looked liked it just came out of the factory , it was so meticulously maintained. Perfect paint, loaded with chrome, 95 cubic inch twin cam engine, dual front disc brakes, Vance & Hines longshots pipes...fell in love with it and bought it! I should be going to pick it up tomorrow (thursday).

I haven't owned a bike since 1978 so I'm pretty excited. The causative factor here was that both my boys just got bikes, both my brothers and my sister have bikes, my daughter and her fiance have a bike, all my friends except one have bikes. So every time they would go off to ride, I'd be standing there in the driveway, riding the bitter bus and waving a plaintive goodbye.

Not this year by God!

Here's a kind of lousy cell phone picture of the bike on the showroom floor. When I get it home I'll take some much better photos with a real camera.

So how many tattoos in your family, all together?

Well, don't feel bad, my first Harley went bye, bye when I got married to my first wife, it was a '76 Low Rider. After all these years, and I'm single again, I see a new Harley in my future!!! Good for you Terry, let's see more pics when you get it!!!

Lucky you. I hope the prices have started to come down some. I know HD has lost a lot of stock value in this tanked economy. But who know? Maybe they will never lower the prices . . .

In any case, happy riding!!!

CONGRAT'S TERRY

You did yourself proud on your choice and style of bike, and great you have so many family and friend's to enjoy it with.

My first bike back in '64 I still dream about.

Once in the blood, I don't think it ever goes away.

Have a great summer on your "NEW TOY - dave

PSSSSSSSSST The time is right now to buy a Big Twin...prices are down..supply new and used is sky high...

Look at the custom bike market today. A High Roller 2 years ago was in excess of $75k... Now those same bikes go for $30k.....

Harleys are the same deal.....just not quite as pricey

ON TOPIC....... Sweet ride Terry!! you will enjoy!!
