Went to set appointment for recall, got new bike instead

[jimsol1]

2013 black standard, paid 17900.00 in 2013, had the swirling and scuffs, and 4 coats liquid glass. Needed rear tire after 9500 miles and brake recall. Bought new 2015 matte silver deluxe for 17900.00 instead. Paperwork and trip to bank was just faster than waiting for service. I am an impatient man!!!
Started telling wife why I bought same bike by listing better paint, recall work done,new 3 year warranty, 2 new tires, black exhaust that I had been admiring, plus cruise, etc.

She said I don't have to justify, it just seems strange buying same bike again.
Plus got free HJC modular helmet thrown in!

Switched over seat,windshield,luggage rack, and a few odds and ends. Felt like free upgrades.

I think thats awesome...lol...nah forget recall, i will take the gray one instead...lol...Congratulations!

since it's matte grey, you won't be needing the left over liquid glass?

oops, i must have cruise control envy

Congrats Jim

Funny story but makes perfect sense to me. Sounds like you have yourself a good woman,,Did you say cause it's the best bike ever.

When I tell my wife I'm thinking about buying some new part for mine she laughs and says sometimes I think you love that bike more than me, I say naw but it's a close second.

Just curious if your willing to say.....What did they give you for the 2013 in trade??...Many of us that bought 2013's saw a huge drop in retail price in later years as the bikes were not selling well.....Ride safe

x2. I am curious to hear what they gave you. Not going to be an easy bike for them to sell used when there are plenty of new ones around for ~$14k!

Congrats on new (same) better bike!
