friends,

The wife (aka the Warden) sent word today that Calamity Jane is paid off. Title in Hand! I was a bit excited about this and thought I would share. Cant take her out today (mobilized with the Navy for a bit more - like another 11 months) but still thought it was pretty darn cool!

but we did have a beer or two in celebration

-TM

Congratulations TM!!! I know how you feel. "Bonnie" will be paid off a year on May 15th.

ps: Does the Mrs. know you refer to her as "The Warden"?

I paid mine off about 2 or 3 months after I bought it, great feeling isn't it!

I was lucky when I bought mine, traded the T140E in and paid the rest cash from the joint bank account. I think the Mrs thought that would be it, but she did not take into account the after market bits n pieces. Come to think about it neither did I.

Congratulations bro, it's a nice feeling, but what do you intend to do with that extra cash each month? More after market bits

Must be nice. I still have a way to go on my America, but everytime I ride I know it's worth it. Congrats & get home so you can ride.

I too, have title in hand and it is a great feeling. However, the urge to add to the stable is very strong. Test rode the new tiger and, well you know the rest...

She doesn't post here so I am safe. I think.

Spring '02 I financed mine for five years and paid it off a year early. Best feeling in the world.

Wow, that means you will have a couple hundred a month to spend on bike parts! So, Brent, what are you doing to celebrate your... ahhh... Mike's good fortune?
