This may seem like an odd question.
Like many people out there in the world, I live paycheck to a couple days before paycheck. I work a full time gig and some odd jobs here and there to keep my head just below the surface. That is to say there is no fluff in the budget. In three months when I have my Heritage Classic paid off, I will have "some" fluff, not a lot. I have considered getting a Roadster when it is paid off but keeping the Heritage of course. She's a 2003 and has some custom chrome etching that I've done and I won't part with her. But she's 17 years old now and in great shape, but I want a younger bike that won't issue concerns of reliability. That being said, I love the Livewire and I'd love to own one, as would many people out there.
But how do you do that?
When most are operating on a Sportster budget (I love Sporty's by the way), how does one plunk down any amount of cash and manage paying for a big ticket item like the LW? Are people making more money than I think? Are some people better at saving money or managing what they have? Are people just saying screw it, jumping in the hole with a smile on their face and sucking up the Ferrari sized payments? What are people doing to afford this bike.
Might be a fun conversation to see how you are all doing it.
Peace and all that. Ride safely kids.
