You can bring down to Virginia and store it in my garage.
Plenty of room to share with my two.

of course I'd have to "exercise" it once in awhile,....gotta keep that oil circulated.
Uh, yea me too!! I think I have just enough room beside mine for that! Nice bike!

And with only a 3 1/2 gallon fuel tank (mounted under the seat) they go like stink......all the way to the next gas station.

sounds like a great woman.
My wife actually got a bike before I could find what I wanted...
She road an '03 sporty for about two months and decided it was too small for her (5'11") and bought this in July

Well crap! She got "buyer's remorse" BEFORE I could commit to the bike. So we're still discussing it. She's funny about large purchases....

We'll see, but I'm not holding my breath anymore.

She still wants one... but just not "right now". Oh well.

Hey Joel, nice to see there is someone else from RI here.
So, If you buy the bike, let me know.
The wife loves to go out on the bike, and would be more than willing to go to Newport for a cruise.

I had to bribe my wife to get on mine. She hated when I left the house on it - - just waiting for the phone to ring. Almost run over two times in one week while sitting at a red light at night. In fact, the same light - - different drivers. They ran the dumb light - - watched them coming, took off around the corner at the last minute. I thought maybe someone was talking to me - - sold it. Hated to let it go - - more fun.

Sorry joel! Looks like my wife is the best then! She took up wood working and loves power tools! She actually uses all the tools I bought and have sitting in the garage! She actually makes stuff we can use! She made an angled head board, shelves, display cases. It doesn't cost me a cent and she still cooks dinner and cuts the grass!
I'm a very lucky man!

No sisters guys sorry!

that's cool, Joel, let her think it over.

lots of things look different AFTER you buy them.

it took me 6 months to buy my CTD (was looking at powerjokes )

anyways, study up on bikes, study the cycle trader, and look for deals.

here's a thought. i called dude's who advertised in LAST month's cycle trader, they had paid $50 for the ad, and bike had not sold, they were ready to sell.

anyways, it will be alright, after all, you moved from TX to RI, so there's prolly not much riding season up there.

pray about it.

Nice bike.

I almost bought a Deuce in 2001 but bought a Dyna instead.

Can't beat the looks of the Deuce tho.

The dealer should be able to store it for a few months, or at least know somewhere dry and warm where you can store it.

They should also deliver it there no problem.

Take a riders safty class and be careful, and have fun of course

You lived long enough to see it because you do brag on your wife.
As far as what this country is coming to, lower divorce rates and happier couples perhaps.
It's good to see our new top secret training methods are working!
I am very proud of you guys!
