I think I may have told everyone this story a few years ago, so if your heard it before, sorry
Dec of 2008 I was bike shopping, wasn't sure what i wanted but was looking for something a little bigger the the 650, while in the local HD dealer the salesman pointed me in the direction of a very pretty 883, as I sat on it a customer very politely ask me not to sit on it because he had just bought it for his girlfriend. We got talking and I could just see the words "I'm stupid" across his forehead getting bigger and bigger. He was buying the 883 for his girlfriend who has never ridden in her life, she didn't need the MSF course because he was going to teach her how to ride. I suggested that he go across the street to the Honda dealer buy her a Rebel and spend the rest of the money on health and life insurance for her Shocked

I must have ridden just about every bike made in England,but I have never ridden a Harley,much fun was made of them in England,but now I understand they are popular over ther now,who would have ever guessed ? Anyway I still don't like them,I was all about speed,and their are many 500 cc bikes that beat Harley's ,so who needs the 1000 cc ?

Come on Mick the whole idea of owning a harley is too see how much chrome you can bolt onto it. Sort of like the British Mods made famous in Quadrophinia with all the mirrors bolted to the scooters. I've seen harley's that have more money tied up in chrome than I have in my entire Savage. If you stop to think of it that's pretty easy to do Grin

My daughter just took the MSF course this March. Her first bike is the 2000 Savage we just picked up. FTR, she's 23, 5' 7" and about 150 lbs. Seemed like the Rebel would be a bit small for her, and given that the Savage is such a lightweight bike for it's displacement it seemed like a nice fit.

During the class. the instructor had gone around the room asking who had ridden before, and then who had currently bought a bike. One guy had never ridden before, however, his "starter bike" was a Road King. As soon as the instructor heard that, he made an example of the guy for the rest of the class for what NOT to buy as a starter bike, and stood before the guy and made the sign of the cross...
