[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1440691, member: 20946"] Hey Dave, thanks for weighing in here. You and I have talked a number of times over the years. I am indeed still on two wheels and even after 16 months of ownership, the joy of going out for a ride on the new Wing hasn't diminished. As a matter of fact, I just sold my 2015 SRT392 Challenger because of it. With both the Honda and the Challenger sitting in the driveway waiting for me to take 'em out for a ride, I had a choice to make. Both cost a fortune: 36k for the Chally, and 22k for the Honda. To digress here, a whole bunch of new 2018 Honda's were still available in 2020 during Covid, and Honda had marked them down substantially from their 28k MSRP. I snapped one up in part because of the amazing discount. Back to my original train of thought: but each time I decided to head out for a little ride, or to run an errand of some sort, the Honda got the nod. So there sat the Challenger collecting dust. I just didn't drive it any more. And when I did, because I felt sorry for the poor thing, just sitting around unused, I no sooner got out of the driveway that I found myself wishing I'd taken the Honda. Sad: as much as I love driving that car, (485 horsepower will put a smile on ANY face), it was wasting away in the driveway. So I sold it to Vroom -- 2 weeks ago, oddly enough for 700 more than I paid for it 4 years and 11k miles ago. The high cost of cars these days worked out in my favor this time. Yay me... So with the extra cash in hand, I paid off the Honda and sunk the rest into my investment account. Life is good. Ha, know what I was just thinking? My old FJR still wears it's kickstand pad I bought those many years ago. [/QUOTE]
