Just received a call and an email from this dealer saying they have confirmation that they will be receiving a 2014 gray/blue CTX1300 deluxe by end of this week or early next week. Their price is $15999 on the deluxe.


This is a dealer that previously responded to a request for quote but didn't have a price yet. They are less than 3 hrs away (175 miles). Maybe 2 hrs from Chicago . A bit far for me to go for just a test ride. Storm Lake Honda is closer. I'll wait on my local dealer to get one I can test ride and then (if I can swing it) buy from Storm Lake.
Figured stock would start showing up by the last half of the month.

Sweet!
Don't forget to snap some pictures of if when you swing by, we need that Honda Porn

A black standard showed up today at this dealer, in crate. The sales guy sent me this photo.

Look at it -- it's just itching to bust outta that cage!!

Darn?

I was wondering how they were packaged for shipment. I assumed in a wooden crate like older dazzz. And I was thinking I'd ask them to take it apart carefully so I can keep take the crate parts home in my truck. Now what I see enables easy/controlled breakdown, and would be kinda neat to have. But I suspect what's shown is a reusable crate that goes back.. a greeen thing perhaps.

They forgot to my name on the crate ... NOW how am I suppose to get it? Their mistake ... it was suppose to be RED!

Better go and retrieve it, bring some red panels and convert it to be completely red!

Well that sounds like a complete and utter f***-up on all fronts.

I could do that ... do you think that they would notice? It would cost more MORE money ... but then again, I could have two CTX 1300s in my garage by just switching out the panels! I LIKE your thinking!!

And what else is new! Life IS a f***-up, you just have to grab on and the ride the s*** out of it! OR you could just get off and watch as it passes you by!

I only get off and watch when I'm at Walmart.

Been there, done that ... AND it's NOT pretty!
