What do you say when people ask you how much dat cost?

[Saltywheels]

"More than we could afford..just ask my wife!" And point to Wifey.

 

[Blondie Gal]

I just tell them the first price the dealer quoted to us. That's enough shock for most. John would tell them what we finally paid for it after trading in the two Harleys, and after our after-market accessories and chroming EVERYTHING, but it's kinda fun to see the shock on their faces at my first response - it's not Let's Make a Deal!

 

[atwoodka]

We tell them....love it

 

[trikes4ever]

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

 

[bigballer]

I usually get asked what does this run you. I tell em what I paid without the extras. Their reply is usually I thought they were over 45K dressed out like this. Then I smile and tell em how I love it.

 

[caveman50]

I usually say, Don't know, never seen one like it for sale. Followed with a brief explanation of the countless hours fabricating it piece by piece.

 

[GypsyAngel]

We tell them the truth. My husband traded his 1997 4 x 4 Ford extended 3 door pickup for it. It was an anniversary present for me (our first). I think he got an AWESOME trade. I liked the truck but I LOVE the Trike!!! <img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" /> PS: he also got a GREAT deal on the truck originally!!! He is great at what he does.

 

[BEAR]

I tell them that I am not sure of the total but I still have 119 more payments before its paid for.

Beautiful! An absolutely perfect response! :yes:

 

[trike lady]

I honestly tell them they can afford one like mine. While they have been told how expensive trikes are, they like the idea of the Voyager after I tell them about it.
It's like this; used Voyager $1500.00, used Goldwing $6100.00 and then end results is something that allows you to keep riding 'priceless'. Then I give them a business card.

 

[Southern Man]

More than my house when I bought it.

 

[dancerjim]

I just tell them what they go for.

 

[Boscoporp]

You could just ask them "How much do you weigh"???

 

[Blondie Gal]

You could just ask them "How much do you weigh"???

And get punched in the snoot??? Wow, you're a glutton for punishment!!

 

[soloagn]

I tell them I don't know, it was a Christmas present from my girl friend.

 

[Comanche]

I tell them not as much as what I have added to it.

 

[Maryland Triker]

I usually tell them the cost of the bike and then depending on which kit anywhere from 13000 to 17000 and you lose the warrenty on the bike. Unless you buy a Harley Tri-Glide which has a 2 year warrenty with option to add years to it but the Tr-Glide runs about 36000 out the door with tax & Tags.

 

[meredog]

i tell em gimmie 23000 and then when people who ask you how much it cost you will have a firm answer

 

[msrvpeig]

When I'm asked "what's something like that run"?, I answer, "I've had it up to 85mph and I know it will go faster than that"!

 

[Frozenshrimp]

I tell them it's not mine I stole it and then just lmao at the look on there faces.. Cause when I tell them the true price that I payed for it thats what they say.

 

[Triker Mike]

I just tell them that I was in the right place at the right time for once in my life & practically stole mine & tell them what I really paid

 

[TriGlide]

I tell them. As most who ask would like one. If there interested I tell them get the money from there Bank or credit union. Then go shopping. Cash talks. I tell them pros and cons. Of each brand that I know about. What Harley Dealer is looking to deal. I can get a new 2011 Black Tri Glide out the door in New Rochell NY for 30K out the Door Thats with TAX and TAGS. NY tax is 8.38% tags around $200. Do the Math. Thats around $27,400 before. Tax and Tags.

 

[BigSam]

I get the question all the time since I ride a rat trike. I just smile and tell them to call me when they are serious about owning one. Most just smile and go their way but there are a few who really push the question and I just tell them. I do know this; trikers are a rare breed indeed. They are a people who are not afraid to be different, not afraid to have fun and not afraid to stand out in a crowd. Its not about how much did it cost but how much fun can a person stand?

 

[mpolissky]

When my wife is with me, I just tell them what the bike plus conversion costs and then tell them that I lost track on what my running total is on all the upgrades is...:Shrug:

When she's not, I just tell them the truth. :yes:

 

[Jersey James]

More than my house when I bought it.

Dam, I thought that was Gen. Willam T. Sherman who said that, on his march through Atlanta

 

[home4uto]

I say: Alot! But to my husband I'm worth it!

 

[Oldmsocko]

If I am ask if they could take it for a ride I have no problem telling them NO. I do have some very close friends ( of course M3 can ride it anytime ) that I would allow to ride it. As far as price I tell them that I don't keep track of what I have invested as it would probably scare me. I will tell them the MSRP.

 

[CSM]

I usually say "way more than I needed to"

 

[adaptolife]

I wish I had a dollar for the times I had people ask what it costs to do a bike like mine! Most want to know how it works also. I will tell them what they want to know.
