Not A Trike

[Cobwebs]

Time to re-direct. The thread is talking about "not a trike." Let's leave the economy and politics out. :bowdown:

Aaaww!!! I was just about to launch the lifeboat.Would hate to see any of my buddies here sink.Just get ready to swim guys.


Meanwhile was wondering if the price of the CVO is important to any that purchase them. I think not, sure it would register with them but probably way down the list of concerns. Same thought process we all have when contemplating the latest Spyder farkle but smaller scale?
I love Harleys, own a V Rod, paid up big time for it 15 years ago and thought at the time whatever the cost this was a forever bike for me.Yearly cost average insurance, registration, maintenance will far exceed the purchase price so a non argument to me hence my post about inflation (being a glaring omission} in the debate.
The video producer Ridge Roamer did mention ''I get inflation'' at the start but then trailed off into the typical Harley bash and government and corporate fee bleating, then ended up justifying everything with a ridiculous price comparison to an old Goldwing.
Totally senseless video about a totally senseless subject.
I can buy unknown quality eggs off a roadside stall for 5 bucks a dozen, 8 at the supermarket for inbred spheres, 12 for free range certified at a specialist farm but don't go making dopey videos about it.:banghead:

The CVO Road Glide I was going to buy was 62K out the door, price was a mute point.

I thought about buying a Harley trike but they're expensive. But looking more into them as I got more serious, I found they don't ride that well, among other things I didn't care for. With that trike, you had to fight the steering, corners and take turns really slow as they easily tip over. With my RT, I get a much better ride and don't need to muscle the bike when I ride.

Exactly what I figured out in 2010 when I bought the Premier Edition #474 RT. I went to my HD dealer first. Cool looking bike. Then I climbed aboard. After the start up, I decided NOT to buy one. That was before they said "Oh by the way, there is a $4500.00 "administration fee" to be added to the final purchase price. :bowdown:
