"What really irks me is when it comes from some idiot that can't afford ANY bike, let alone a Harley."

Really, though. I always think to myself: "Well, you just keep dreaming about that Harley that you might own someday, if you can scrape up their asking price. Meanwhile I'll keep on riding my bike that'll do everything a Harley will and then some, and costs about half as much." Not that I couldn't afford a Harley if that's what I really wanted, but the CDN$10,000 plus that I saved is money I can find other uses for.

My wife was pleased we got another bike, and that I didn't spend the additional $15K plus, thats for sure.

I think mentioned this before, but I'm a true Sportster afficianado. It's by far my favorite bike. I paid $8500 for the one I'm riding now, and that included a mess of chrome, and taxes paid. (Taxes paid in the Harley world is high flow air cleaner, high flow pipes, and rejetting the carburator/download new settings to the EFI)
