Just bought a Harley Went down to Eastside Harley Sunday to check out their 0 down financing deals for the '07 bikes. They ran my credit and told me I qualify for anything on the floor plus any accessories I wanted. I could not resist. I bought a Softail Heritage Classic with exhaust, intake, custom tune and new riding gear for 20k. Payments were a little more than I would have liked but I can eat Ramen for a couple of months I guess.

He called from the dealership and tells John he's gonna try to buy this.

Wow, that's great Howard. Welcome to the Harley family, it's big. I do have an extra nitrous kit kicking around. 
Did you see the V-Rod kicking azz this weekend in the NHRA, Andrew Hines. Harley Rocks. Mom, Apple Pie, Chevrolets and Harley Davidson.

I took the bike to work today. Rides great. I do have to get used to it again. I have not been on 2 wheels in about 15 years.
I want to get my endorsment VERY soon. The problem is just working it around work.
My boss has been looking at buying a V-Rod since they came out (I used to work with him building web sites and databases during the dot-coms). He was recently talking about it again. I saw Harley's ad on TV for 0 down, told him about it and he told me that the bike he wants is not available until the '08s come out. At that I rather jokingly told him that I would have a Harley before he would.
Sunday just for the hell of it I went to the dealership and there are three of the bikes my boss has been wanting. I called him and told him to come check them out. He didn't believe me in the least but came out anyway to cheer me on to get one for me. When he shows up he can't believe they have the bike, and the dealer tells him there are only 3 in the state. He proceeds to whip out 5g's in cash and finances the rest.
Needless to say he did get his before me ... only about half an hour before me, though.
I will post picts when I get the bike back. Right now it is at the dealership having the exhaust, intake and new computer tune installed. It's supposed to be ready tomorrow when I get off work.
Now I have to clean out a spot in my garage to put it so I have a BUNCH of Seahawks, home, stock LS1, and Star Wars stuff for sale.

Let me know if you find a good place to unload any of that Star Wars stuff. My Mom recently came across a couple things I had from when I was a kid that I don't want but don't just want to give away........would be curious where a good place to sell em is. I looked on ebay but they were over run.
