82 days ago, we traded an '05 Harley Davidson Electra Glide

It sat in the showroom all this time waiting for someone to buy it. The used car manager said he wanted it, but didn't have the money... I told him that if he was gonna pass, I'd take it. After 75 days, it needed to be wholesaled. He finally told me on Thursday that he wasn't going to buy it. I thought about it for about 3 minutes and bought it. I don't need it. I now have to figure out how to fit it in the garage with my Yamaha... But it was only $1800, and the wholesaler had offered $4000. It's got terrible paint and high miles (52300) but it's in good mechanical condition, fresh tires, etc. So I caught a break with the weather today, and I'm riding it home after work.

I'll ride it a while, maybe use it for longer trips... and sell it on. unless I love it, and want to keep it.....

Great deal, man. Lots of 'Glides out there with 100,000+ miles. 50k miles is barely out of the shakedown run.
