Another Ride to look out for....

 

On the 28th of Oct. Sunday

is the annual 'DeepaRaya Ride'

 

Gather @ dealership @ 10am.

11am push-off.

 

This event is open to all Harley owners/riders.

It's purely another reason to meet-up & move-out.

Visit 2 children's home. Spread some cheer & draw some smiles.

 

The more the merrier.

It's one rumble you wouldn't want to miss.

Hi all.... Need advise from bros here... Was thinking of getting a sportster but torn between a 2nd hand one and a new one... Is there a great diff?

 

hi Gimeca,

 

i can't agree more with plasticspecs.

it's all about the 'money' kaching! kaching!

if You had the cash i'm sure you would wanna grap a new sporty.

straight from the grate.

 

i'm assuming you are going on installment.

work out the cost against your means .... 1st.

2nd hand harleys are no harm.

 

Suggestion:

Buy a 2nd/3rd or ...... hand sporty.

Ride it for a while.

When selling it off, you would not incur too much of a loss.

 

By that time you will most likely pick a bigger harley.

Sporties have been known to be a stepping stone before upgrading.

 

Happy Shopping

D.D.

Thanks bro... Thanks for the advise.... You have a point....

I think same except price-wise. Best go down dealer and see and view some that are selling online.

 

I actually might be thinking of selling mine. I'm just half half. I love my sporty but on the other hand, it's not a great touring machine, but then I do a lot of city riding too due to working in town, but then...a lot of stuff lah. Best I can have the sporty and another tourer or just a Street Glide or Road King. But that my nagging pocket thumbs be down

 

Thanks for the advise bro.... If when you finally decided to let go of your baby...Let me know dude...

sugar mummy first, then the harley thanks to sugar mummy

So you are prepared to 'sell' yourself to a sugar-mummy in order to raise funds for bigger harley, huh!

 

It's kinda like, nicolas cage in 'Ghost-Rider' making a pact with the devil.

Did you happen to ask about the Fat Bob as well?

[Designer Dude]

  Turk said:

Fat bob was a no-show too in the 2008 models launch.

[lunloon]

no show?

wth

: /

was told it'll come in end sept

[Designer Dude]

Yes, both the most anticipated bikes of the 2008 launch did not arrive.

I was @ the dealership ....... over the weekend... Loads of bikes but not the ones on this 'most wanted' list.

[Designer Dude]

Also note:

You can place orders for the 'rocker' but not the 'rocker-c'.

Attribute it to the demand and supply chain.

i didn't realised it's plastic looking

[dreamwalk]

hi harley riders,

 

do you know anywhere that does plastic chroming?

[Turk]

I heard many people cancelled their pre-bookings on the Rocker after seeing it, and changed to Rocker-C; because of the dull grey parts. I haven't seen it myself though. I guess we'll wait and see.

For my part, I wouldn't buy any bike before sitting on it first, but that's just me...

There are a couple of older topics dicsussing this in detail.

Try Checking out the older pages.

Let us know if you try and get good results.
