Don't it beat all hell, how people will spend money they ain't got to buy stuff they don't need, to show off to people they don't like ??

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. Undecided

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. Grin

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.......... Cool

Couple years ago, in line at the grocery store.
Had helmet with me, guy in front of me had
mc gear and helmet.
Male casheir says I am thinking of getting a bike
to save money..
Man in front of me, looked at me, we both said
it at the same time.
Don't get a bike thinking your going to save money...
Cashier looked at us kinda strange.
I figured he could find out for himself...

I wish I could find the YouTube video of some bozo taking delivery of his brand new HD bagger, with all the extra chrome bits of course, and promptly slamming it into the side of a truck before he can get out of the parking lot.
