Spring is around the corner and I am getting the itch.   So I have been out motorcycle shopping.  Found my self at the Wild Prairie Harley Davidson grand opening this past weekend.   I finally decided I am going to get the Dyna Low Rider, new of course.   I demo’ed the first available demo’s this weekend.  I rode both a Dyna Low Rider and a Softail Deluxe.   Both rode fairly well the dyna vibrated more at an idle but smoothed out very nicely once you took off.   This is due to the rubber mounted engines.   The Softail was pretty uniform in vibration all around, but you could feel more of the road due to the suspension having the under side mounted shocks.  The Dyna has side mounted ones.   So this week I will be doing the finalizing to hopefully have the bike next weekend.

 For those curious based no some information I have gathered up, it looks like dealers get a 21% markup from cost at sticker price.  This gives a guy some good negotiation room.  I wouldnt expect more then 10% off the sticker price though.   Can’t wait to get back out on the bikes this year.
