Thanks to all that pitched in. Also thanks to Miles, for helping me for this to happen ASAP. Finally I have purchased from South Bound Honda in Tacoma, WA. They will deliver next Thursday, although probably I wont pick it up until Saturday, and only if weather permits. Today is ugly (as usual) in Seattle. lots of cold rain..
Again thanks to everybody, and looking forward to joining in.
I paid $18,690 and some change Out the Door For a Delux Black with a tall Clear vented windshield.
What I did was got on the phone and got a firm price in Tenn. out the door and carried it to the local dealer. They got within a few hundred bucks of the out of state price and I bought it.
I was looking forward to flying to Tenn. and riding it back. But I bought local. Then I rode to Chattanooga to visit family after. Checked out the leaves.
Since then I've put a couple grand in accessories.(Don't tell the wife.)
