    Save it up for when rates hit an all time low in a few months. We all know it will happen. It's the nature of the beast.

    Im sick of all this winning! I can’t take it anymore! If I win anymore I’ll be sick, but wins just keep coming. I can’t complain about rates either. Ahhhhh. Help!

    HARLEY???!!!! Is it difficult to ride Harley? I've never ridden a motorcycle but I would not mind trying. I'd put that Wehrmacht helmet on and my grandpa - WWII soldier, seeing this from Heaven would strike me with a lightning ball.

    I personally would not recommend starting out on a Harley. Cruiser style bikes like that are fairly heavy and not real forgiving. I’d try and learn on something like this first. Light weight, nimble, forgiving, power but not too much, learn to turn.

    That's a fascinating phenomenon. We have reached the exact symmetric opposite side (think of a film negative) of rates level when this original version of this read - which is buried under political garbage but still containing a great deal of historical data - was created. Another phenomenon within this phenomenon is the fact of a sudden change the rates trend happened and its un - expectancy.
     
    PPLC Thanks this.

    Yeah...the problem is they don't have it in 2XLT size.

    haha love it. Classic.

    Go back and read my posts, whether from a year plus ago or just a few months ago. I always said Sept 2020. And in the old threads I was the first to call the down turn. (Pats self on back) :D

    ahh, you would be fine.
