That undertail exhaust is sweet! Nothing sounds like a triple!

My money's on this ^^^

Thanks guys! It really is a pleasant ride.

Well, at least one of them is. [ATTACH]3019[/ATTACH] Brought home my new Victory Cross Roads today. This bike feels like it was made for my ass! Without the quick-release seat rest and screen, it looks pretty bad-ass. I want to thank the Iron Pony for putting together a great experience for me. Exceptional trade (yep, I ended up trading it in), no pressure at all, and worked with the price to the extent that they beat my top dollar without me telling them what it was. I'd do business with their sales department again in a heartbeat. I'll give a full ride report in a few days when I take off the rose glasses and my euphoria dies down.

Good luck with the ride! A great organization, money well-spent.

The boss says I can keep the FZ AND get something fresh. So, I'll edit the intro again. Mods, feel free to lock her up.

Do we know if it took a head-shot?

Admittedly, the victory was most comfortable in the showroom.

A guy who gets me.

Thanks guys. Each has pros and cons from my perspective..... Triumph Not as many on the road Tons of power Price (my eye is on a leftover 2011 with every major option at $1k less than the Victory) Quick release windscreen Fuel economy reported 28 to 43 MPG Weight Victory again, fewer on the roads Power over HD Well-appointed at less than HD Quality reported as good Dealership giving me $4400 for my bike No quick-release shield Not sure if I like the leather hard bags on the LE I'm looking at lower resale than HD Road King Best MPG Best resale Quick release windshield Reliability Apparel Higher price, especially to even it out with triumph or victory I fit the stereotype too well.... guy who shouldn't be on a Harley on a Harley I've been lurking on triumphrat for a while.... getting good MPG info, but mostly fanboys.

I'm considering a Triumph Rocket III Touring among a couple other bikes (Victory Cross Roads and Road King). Any experience with them? Mechanical issues? Quality? Comfort?

Congratulations! Getting paid for something you enjoy ain't half bad.

Bump. I think it's time for something fresh.

Within the context of a good deal, buy things that appreciate and lease that which depreciates. It all depends on the deal. In 2007, I leased a brand new F150 4 door 4x4 for $179/month and $1800 down for 24 months. That deal was a no-brainer. I could not have purchased and sold in 24 months with less loss. Residual was like $24k, so buying it out was stupid. Flip side was my 2007 Sienna. Leased for $300/month for 24 months, but residual was $7k less than blue book, so I bought it out and could sell it today at a great price. I can't lease for me any more since I drive 500-1000 miles per week, but I'd lease again in a heartbeat for my wife. If you bought it and sold in 3 years, would you spend more than if you lease?

This thread will not end with... "oh man, I've been wrong all this time".

Bullshit. If this was true, Sharpton would be on CNN right now apologizing.

I'm picking mine up Thursday. Bad, if you can work something out, let me know.

Thinking about track-only for the Honda and getting something else for the street?

Thank you. Well done. So now I'm torn. It's kind of like they're striving to meet in the middle, giving up performance. I love AMA Daytona for the unspoiled talent and I love GP for its cutting-edge performance. I hope we don't simply end up with WSBK+. Oh well, I don't race and I'll watch it on Sunday regardless.

Good God! Who are these people? Who 2-ups a bike for their first ride on it? That being said, I plan on taking the Pony up on it's offer during the Victory demo days in the fall.

Interesting .... I don't remember caring about who or what Superman stuck his dick in when I was at comic book reading age. I guess people old enough to understand AND still read comic books would establish a niche for such matters.

Yikes! High speed? Collision with something?
