Bickering about bicycles, now with occasional tips about motorised vehicles

Sorry, it was like 4 posts between hedgie and yours, so I was off a bit.
Used is definitely the way to go, but even used Harley's ain't cheap, especially if they've been kept up at all. $2000 for one from the 80's might get you one that runs, but probably not, and even if it does it'll need a shit-ton of work.
Grognard, I feel your pain - our inspection just came up first of August. Thought I just needed tires and an alignment.
Sway bar links had gone bad. We got it done, but it was the final drain on the bank account until some more cash comes in.

I honestly wouldn't want a Harley right off the bat unless I get a steal somewhere... something more like the Classic styled Hondas or a used Victory, something like that. No need to get a higher end (*cough* not really any more *cough*) bike for my first one.

My 'Beast' is still limping around with a Spare tire.
Two new tires will run $250-300.
...and I'm still UNDER-employed. :(
fuck.

Like I said, get used. I needed a pair of front tires for the inspection - after running on a bad sway bar, both were bald, one had belt showing on the inside edge.
$38 for a matched pair of tires with nice, deep treads from the local U-pull-it yard. $25 to get them mounted and balanced.
I haven't bought new tires since... ummm....
I'm not sure I ever have.
