Look What My Dealer Has

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Not that I'd bite ... even if I had the money ... :Shrug: ... well ... Maybe ... :santa-chimney:







I do have some questions ...

1) What is the reddish stuff on the heads????

2) Do ya think it would look good next to My Jeep???? or Even on the Trailer behind it????

 

[ol' school]

Nice looking Fuzzy! It would look good going down the road on the trailer behind your Jeep!

I say...tell Santa to make room in that sleigh...he’s got a big load to pick up and deliver to Fuzzy’s house! Oh... and don’t drop it in the snow Santa....never find it! :Santa:

Say it ain't so!

You really thinking of trading again?

OK...if you do, I'm gonna ask to ride it when I'm out your way (or you're out ours). :laugh:

I hate to admit it ... but no ... I'm not gonna trade. Three reasons in no particular order (number 3 is the biggest ).

1) Harley won't finance me again ever after I had to file bankruptcy and had my 15 financed with them, and I ain't got 50+K.

2) I don't want to take on a big nut, I'm retired and in a good place ...

3) I am absolutely in love with the Fat Bottom Girl (Inlove).

4) I did ask Santa for a special present this year ... we'll see how good I've been .. :Shrug:.

5) If I was gonna spend that kind of money, I'd just have Ryan at Counts Kustoms paint the FBG pearl white with a hint of black cherry pearl. All the badging (AMG edition, HD stuff, Tri Glide, etc) would be in the black cherry pearl. I would give Ryan artistic control of the graphics, with a couple caveats. No Skulls, No Horns, All PG rayed .

PS. Kevin, you can ride my ride anytime.

I don't blame you Fuzzy, that is alot of money as I said in my other post you can buy a new one and do a few things like a person likes and have way less money in it. And as for your trike, it runs and looks good for way less money and you are happy with it, keep it and get that CVO out of your brain.

As for Ryan painting it that would be nice also, but I think it wouldn't be very cheap either, I think on the expensive side I would guess.

All for now Trampas

I have called them at Counts Kustoms, they quoted me between $5K and $10K depending on what graphics I wanted. They would need to do a look see to firm it up. Let Ryan give me his vision and once we agree, then it would be firm.

I'm planing a trip in January to Mesquite, Nv to get some riding in (gonna put the FBG on the trailer and test out the Jeep pulling it, the mountains are not conducive to Triking in January). This will solve 3 issues.

1) Test how well the Jeep pulls a trailer before I get the new one.

2) Give me a chance to get the FBG to Vegas for Ryan to see (I also will take a tour of the Count's Rides)

3) Cure My Cabin Fever.

We don't get that much snow here, even the forecasted "White Christmas" has been down graded to rain/snow showers, so a "Muddy Christmas" ... we get 6-12" a couple of times a winter, it tends to melt within 24 hrs unless we get the inversion ... we do get cold ... 30's today ... so not bad.

The problem is ... every direction you go takes you over real mountains ... that's were the snow is. Having said that, just looked at the Rockies today on the CDOT cams ... scary ... no snow in the passes on the roads. Global warming???? Don't know, but, when it comes ... up there it usually comes in a big way. Maybe there is a comet coming...:Shrug:

 

[MikeyTX]

There is no global warming according to the flat earth society. Personally, I attribute the issue to my ex wife. Her breath could melt glaciers.

 

[RickDeVon]

I would bite if I didn't have almost the price in my 15'...even if they are that sweet and I would go with the dark one...what I would trade for is a limited special trike blacked out from the factory...

I was gonna say paint your current ride...but did not want to rain on your parade if you really were going for the CVO.

Wishing you, your mom & Harley a Great Christmas. Hope to see you this next year.

Suggestion: Look what my dealer has

You should pin this post and just update us daily on the latest bike/trike/car/trailer/antique/etc, you have bought or considering buying. Easier than starting a new thread each time....

:GL1800: :laugh:

Not sure what "pin" means :Shrug: .. I'm still in training :blush:.

However ... I am hoping Santa visit my house this year ...

If my last ex didn't take her own life, I'd say we were married to the same women. Just kidding, to be honest, I miss her. Not the way she lived her life, but. I do miss her.

Welp ... Santa was a Disappointment

I was either a bad boy this year, or Santa couldn't get what I asked for down the 12" pipe to my wood burning stove.

I had put a bid on a 2004 White Pearl GL1800 ... heard yesterday just before the dealer closed that it had been turned down and the dealer wanted full list on it. $8k. I offered $7.2. I am in a good place right now, so there is no urgency. I can be patient.

I made the offer on this:



Only 10,500 miles. Love the color, but, such is life. I'll wait a month or so and see if he'll take it then ... ... maybe even try on the Tangerine 02 ... LOL. He also has a 2016 Indian Roadmaster ... pretty blue ... but ... that's a higher priced ride and I'm not sure I could turn it.

I suspect Paws and Lady on a Mission have me pegged (guess women just see through me :AGGHH ... Paws maybe a little closer ... LOL. Lady on a Mission, I suspect I am a tad fickle, although, I will not trade the FBG. Well ... maybe for something exactly like this ... ... That trike just makes my heart sing, and I've never owned a modern Indian ... had a couple in my youth, mostly chops.



Paws had me pegged the most ... I like to tinker and it's good for my mental health. I thought I could get a two wheeler, do some maintenance, add some of the accessories I have left over in the magic garage and ride it awhile, sell it for a profit or what I had in it, and repeat ... LOL. I also like posting about my adventures when working on the rides.

The GL1800 would be my choice for this, or, maybe a Harley Ultra (the garage is fairly well stocked for both and I can work on them in my sleep .. LOL). That's basically how I got the FBG. Tweety (01 GL1800, ~$1,500 profit, regret selling that ride ... Loved it) The White 08 GL1800 Trike (FBGII, ~$1100 profit), Harley Quinn (2014 Ultra Limited, ~$1000 profit), Helga (2003 GL1800, ~$600 profit) and Jessica (2006 GL1800, ~$2,200 profit, the LCD Screen replacement was huge in getting big $$) were all steps to get enough $$$ to get FBG or some other Tri. It worked and I'm happy with the Fat Bottom Girl.

Not sure if you guys know this, but, if you have a Harley financed with HD and file bankruptcy, Harley will never finance you again. That's why I needed to go the route I went. My dealer (and I suspect most HD Dealers, won't go through any other financiers) I do miss the "undressing and redressing" the old girls ... so thought I'd get back into it for more fun than profit.

I'll keep looking and making offers ... who knows ... maybe someone will accept it ... LOL ... Maybe I should quit watching Counts Kustoms???? Could be getting visions of Grander :Shrug:

The winter is the worst time for me ... The mind goes totally off the rails without something to go crazy with. I'm feeling a trip to Mesquite in my future. Leave the trailer and Jeep there and ride FBG for hours and hours.
