Default Selling my boat...

Just to clear the air... a Harley is NOT in my future. A Honda... maybe...
never a Harley.

(Sorry Wisconsin)

Harleys are like tatoos now, everyone's out tooling around on them in a
leather vest and a half shell, but it doesn't mean anything anymore.
Having a bass boat is sooo much hipper! Keep the boat!

You know it... I love it, but it's not getting any use. I think I want
to sell it, buy a big ass Harley Davidson. Call me crazy, but you
won't be the first.

Anyone interested in a Nitro?

Oh yeah, like you need a Harley, didn't you learn enough while on your
bicycle? My "almost" son in law is thinking about buying an entry level
boat, what are you asking?


Or better yet, you've got the Nitro paid off, right? Why don't you buy
something less expensive than a "big ass Harley" and keep both?

Why? I've owned plenty of both and inspite of the hype and attitudes there
isn't really that much difference. The smaller Hondas are cheaper, but
that's about it. Take the top of the line from both, and maintenance, life,
and price are about the same. Say ReclinerWing vs UltraBarge. Harley has
some non-quality (persay) advantages. Resale value is exceptional, and the
huge aftermarket pretty much guarantees you can keep your Harley on the road
as long as you want to.

Just transportation around town is all I need. Much like my attitude when I
bought my boat... point A to point B.

Makes sense then. A mid size Honda will do that just fine, and Harley
doesn't really compete in that market very well with its Sportster. Also a
lot more cheap mid sized used Hondas available.

I owned a number of Harleys over about 15 years, and I sold the last one two
years ago.
One thing to think about these days is what type of street environment you
will have to ride within. If you will be forced to do a lot of your riding
on main drag suburbia streets packed with very distracted cellphone using
commuters and soccermoms, riding a bike is not really much fun. You tend to
have white knuckle experiences about every 5 minutes.
