- and least visible...
For a reentry rider, I think I'd have to suggest something other than new. Less crying when it's dropped.

I agree with BK. I got my fatboy used and wasnt that pissed when i put it down. Granted it wasnt that bad all in all but still! I finally got my Dana 70 for the rear of my TJ.. Only 2500 with gears and everything! Now i just have to find a free weekend to put it in. Now hopefully i can get rid of the Dana 60 i had in the rear and get one for the front and get rid of the dana 44. All in all im going to be running Star Trek this year. FYI Star Trek is the night version of Sierra Trek (big Off Road Event!!) I really do prefer running it over night than day, because there are better drivers. So you dont get that one person who breaks cuz their dumb and doesnt have tools to fix themselves, (or a spare tire, i hate those fucking people). The only thing i have left that i really want but dont really need are portal axles

I'm going to cry like a bitch when I put any bike of mine down - new or used. It'll be NEW to me. I'm just trying to find the best deal. Right now I think it's either the '06 Silverado or one of the 1300s. They weigh almost the same.

The silverado is more fully packaged, but the 1300 has fuel injection and belt drive. Either would be excellent choices.

rode my bike in to work today.
In the middle of a storm cell.
High winds, 8" of standing water in spots.
I enjoyed it. WTF is wrong with me?

Went to ANdretti Motorports at lunchtime to look at bikes, again. What a difference compared to other dealerships! I had a price quote before I left for the 1300: $9725 net.
They also have an '05 1100 with saddle bags and back rest for $6500.

My morning contract negotiation meeting was cancelled 15 minutes before it was supposed to happen.

So I did a load of laundry. Then I went to my afternoon contract ratification meeting (half of our contracts expire this summer), which passed unanimously. Then shopping for my niece's 12th birthday present, my dad's 74th birthday present, and my stepmom's 55th birthday present.
Now I'm trying to convince myself I want to make brownies so I can drink for free at the bar tonight even though it's 92F outside my house and about 97F inside.

Got financing for the bike, need to decide on the 1100 Custom or Classic. It turns out that the 1300 would only be $15-20/ month more on the payment but also another $10-15 on the insurance.
