Everytime gas has gone up the last few years I have IDIOTS come up, ask about my bikes' gas mileage, & tell me they're going to get a bike to save on gas.
When I ask if they've ridden before & what they're getting, the reply is almost always NO, but I've been approved to get a new H-D. I ask if they've checked on insurance, NO. m/c license, NO. I'll just ride without 'til I can get it. Explain, NO license= NO insurance, NO financed bike.
Then I tell them they need a M/C Safety Course to get a license.

Owning a Harley won't make you a biker, but riding any m/c as a daily part of your life will, in my book.

I tell them to buy a used bike to start with but I can see they just don't get it!!!!!!
I going to stop wasting my time, they just don't want to hear it..........
