We have recently gotten some bills paid off due to some awesome overtime.

(166 hour pay period: period = 14 days. :shock:)

My current options are starting to emerge.

1. This:

and a used vehicle of some sorts for my wife to tool around in.

2. This ... (for my wife...) A used:

and a used bike.

3. Just this:

(I am thinking that the Shadow Sabre is a must. I have an itch like you wouldn't believe.)

There's only one thing to do...scratch it!

I was going to ask where you've been lately; haven't seen ya' around. 166 hour pay period? :shock: Even I don't work that many hours.

Sean, I know you are right, but she already really loves driving the truck. I am torn.

Nick my OT works like this.

Anything over 8 a day = 1.5 time
Anything over 40 a week = 1.5 time
Anything over 49 a week = 2 time
Anywork on a holiday = 2.5 time
49 hour rule in effect on a holiday = 3 time

ff, yeah man, I am so close to just getting the bike, I want it so bad. The only reason I am making myself wait is because I want to make sure it is not just a case of a short-lived lust session.

I wish I was paid by the hour.

I wish I was paid, period. :D

I would go for the bike. Oh, but the Mustang is pretty hot, too. Maybe that. But then you couldn't get the bike. So get the Mustang. Or was that the bike?

:shock: :shock: Damn! I bet you got paid last Monday if your company considered it a holiday. I would go with the Mustang and bike. Make sure you take some time off to enjoy either one. At 88 hrs a week you dont get much sleep nevertheless fun!

Ugh, skip the V-rod.

I'd do option 2 - get the bike used. If you keep your eyes open and keep your eyes on the classifieds and on Craigslist, you'll find just about any bike available gently used, and a lot of big cruisers - the "Honey, I got a..." "You're not keeping that!" syndrome. Mebbe consider Suzuki Interceptors and Marauders, too. If you see one up here, I'll be willing to take a looksee.

I've always loved that bike. In my opinion, the sexiest bike on the planet.

That really is a nice bike. Although I'm more of a sport bike person myself.

Not gonna go with a Harley for my first bike.

Yeah Rgal, I agree, used is the only way to go, I only posted the pic as a concept.

I think a shadow sabre is my favorite choice, I will check craig's list too.

Thanks guys, keep the input coming, it helps justify my indecision. :P

I agree! There will definitely be one of those in my garage in the near future! The VRod just fits me really well and now that I have a year of riding the Buell under my belt I'm ready to trade up! :P
