    Thumbs up How I lost 48 pounds in one day...


    The deal at Best Cycles in Nashua was too damn good to pass up.

    I don't know yet. I'm an out-of-state buyer, so I still have to do all the insurance and DMV stuff before I can pick it up.

    The 51's will always have a special place in my heart. They always remind me of Edwards when I see one.

    Technically, I guess I gained 440 lbs instead of losing 48 -I still have the RC51. But I will be selling it. I hate to see it go because I love the RC, but it doesn't make sense to have both.

    I have no idea. My first thought is $15,000. Then I can tell my wife I tried to sell it.

    Re: How I lost 48 pounds in one day...

    May I ask how much? Best looked at me cross-eyed when I tried talking them less then their asking. Their asking was like 8400$ with fees…thats why I went to naults, but now you have me curious


    EDIT: Just noticed they are now asking 7700$ there, thats not a bad asking price, much closer to reality. I'd like to think my ranting to them helped

    Sure, you can ask.

    Your rant must have really helped. It was well below $7700 OTD and below the best Nault's could do. Nault's was second best and unlike a few dealers they seemed to be genuinely trying to get my business.

    BTW - if anyone's considering picking one of these up, ask for Mike @ Best Cycles. I'd be surprised if you can find a better deal in New England. I spent a lot of time talking to a lot of dealers.

    Definitely. In the spring. I can't get time off next week.

    Maybe if I wait a bit, it will start becoming a 'collectable'. Maybe I'll keep it as an 'investment'. Yeah...
