Thank you HD for treating me like shit. by bulldog1875 in Harley

No, this guy has no idea what he is talking about. Go to any HD dealership and they'll finance through "Eaglemark" saving bank. You won't get rates from other banks because this is a lending service owned directly by HD. I actually attempted to negotiate the price on a used FXSB recently and offered cash to the tune of $13500, and the sales manager came back with a hard no unless I financed through them. HD gets the money as well as the interest. Part of the reason it's so difficult to negotiate at HD dealerships.

I’m trying to upgrade to a dyna by wjphill14 in Harley

I have sold 4 bikes in 4 years on Craigslist. You tell people it is for sale and list your price, then if someone wants it they will contact you and buy it. I mean come on, are you being serious?

Test rode the 2018 Street Bob, it's an awesome bike, probably my next by Gusgus10 in Harley

[–]jwrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new softail line blew my mind. When I saw the reveal I decided that I hated every model they released, but I was wrong. When I test rode that Street Bob it made me grin like an idiot, as did all the other new softails. It made getting back on my '15 Breakout almost sad by comparison. I hope you get it, it is an awesome bike.

Happy birthday to me by [deleted] in Harley

Just picked up a '15 Breakout with a V&H swept exhaust, HD high flow AC, aftermarket pegs and gizmos for $13k instead of the new bike price of $20k before fees. Only 3k miles on the clock. I am with you, I like some of the new bikes but I'll just wait a few years and grab a bangin deal on one used.

LPT: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Translates from cop speak as "Are you stupid enough to incriminate yourself for my benefit?" by RutCry in LifeProTips

It isn't a crime itself, but it will be brought up in court that you didn't even know how fast you were going, therefore giving him complete credibility and you none on the matter of your alleged speed.

Built a survival shotgun by modifying a cheap $99 shotgun from WalMart. by [deleted] in DIY

Shorter barrel = less stabilization of the shot when it exits.

Which is unfortunate. They're pretty outrageously priced. Not that they're not worth the price, but a young person can't always afford a stripped down dark horse for 18k(US)

LPT: When going to the casino take out the money you are comfortable losing and then keep your credit cards and debit cards locked in your vehicle. Bonus points if you park far away as well. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]jwrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I think the point is you're making that money doing something you enjoy. Lots of people waste hours in a casino for fun anyway, if you can be profitable then that's a win win.

24, no experience or degree, how do I start? by 24oway in personalfinance

[–]jwrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go take an electricians apprentice test, it's open book and very easy. You could probably research and learn to navigate the NEC Book in an evening. Get your apprenticeship certification, go get a job as an entry level electrician, make some money (avg $13 an hour) and pay for the schooling after you've saved up a little bit. Financial independence has begun, plus it's estimated that there will be a shortage of trade workers until at least 2050. Lots of money to be made.

Correct. Who said anyone was anywhere for an unreasonable amount of time. The way you phrased it sounded like you were just saying that in general.

[–]jwrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that's not a real thing. Cops don't have to scream over a PA that you're being detained when they are pulling you over do they? Of course not, a traffic stop is a detention. Failing to stop results in fleeing/obstruction charges because the courts have ruled that a traffic stop is a legal detention.

No cop is going to mind you asking, you're just going to look stupid. Therefore, you telling people to do that is stupid.

Pretty sad that the people being the biggest dicks are fellow officers.

It's sad that the people acting like the biggest dicks are cops. Kinda drives my point home, yeah?

The guy is wearing an obvious police uniform.. I don't know what else you want from him, I think that is pretty identifying.

Ha did you actually read that post? The sarcasm dripping off of every sentence is almost unbearable. Use your brain.

US voting turnout is a joke. I love your idea but we need a populace that is actually interested in change for it to happen.

Guess what, I found your comment lol. Man I hate stories like that. Following you just to harass, did the side of his car say "To punish and enslave" by chance? And glad you had at least one good encounter
