BMW R18

[Wisedrum]

Picking mine up today. I know that they're not everybody's cup of tea, but I can't help but like them (and the way they ride.) As Oly says, I don't do pirate, stickers or wallet chains, so what's a guy who likes cruisers to do?

be sure and post up some pics for us sir

Here 'ya go. I picked it up and put 75 miles on it this afternoon. It's a real pleasure to ride on both twisty country roads and the highway. Cosmetically I happen to like the straight pipes way more than the fish tail ones.

Hopefully you noticed this BMWNA promotion before you signed on the dotted line:

Until April 30th get 0% APR financing plus a $2,000 trade-in credit on the R 18 and R 18 Classic.

Yeah...good deals to be had. I got the trade credit (plus a real decent deal on the trade) but I hate financing...even at 0%. I know it's stupid, but I just don't like financing toys.

It's not stupid, I don't think so. I never buy something I have to finance, though our social systems are build on this financial mechanism. Always spending money you don't have yet.

I only buy cash or don't buy. Wether I can afford it or can't. Hate to have obligations I can choose over a long period of time for 'toys', if motorbikes are toys and not necessities. Normal monthly obligations while living in whatever society are more than enough for me like renting a flat, paying insurances etc. .
