    That's cool! I think retailers have used those bar codes to hide the real prices from buyers for many years. Now you're getting correct MSRP. They didn't expect that.

    It's like this redneck, my OL asked me to try and not spend any money that I didn't have to.
    She pays the credit cards and all the bills with her check, I don't have one.
    She is gonna try to pay her Nightster off this year. When she gits it paid off she said she would help me make payments on my bike so we can git the title faster.
    I don't like paying somebody no longer than possible fora bike.
    If you loose yer job you might loose yer bike.
    Don't want to take a chance of being without a bike.

    I don't know anyone who can walk into a dealership with that kinda money, and just write a check. If you wait till you have all the money, it costs way more to buy it later anyway. So, go for it now. Ya never know how many days on this earth you have left to have some fun.

    You'd have to do some serious saving for a few years.
    Or you can save the heck out of yer money for a year or, and trade yer bike in and put a super good pymt. down and come out with monthly payments of say 200.00 a month or so.

    If yer younger, give up some of yer free time and git a second part time job.
    Its according to how bad you really want it.

    CB, you really need to scale down your picture size, cause on a laptop it is so big you can only read half of a post.

    In their setup there is a size to how big or small you want the letters on yer screen to show up. Mine is at 100%, if you go to a bigger % the letters and pictures gits bigger, Vice versa.
    Don't know if that might be it or not.
