WTF do you people look like?

When my cousin wanted his 1st bike I helped out by riding the 250cc Nighthawk he bought back to his house...during middle of January. Froze my nuts off.

He got the hang of it quickly and sold it to a guy who didn't have a clue. The guy handed over the cash...got on it and promptly smashed into a brick wall.

He wasn't hurt except his pride and his GF yelling what an ass he was.

So, my cousin starts out with a used Sportster. Did he ever offer to let me take it for a spin? NOPE.

I had this bike:

And let him carefully try out a 750...no HD, but still was cherry and my baby! Not to mention it's super EASy to get parts for any HD, but NOT so easy to get parts for an '82 Honda.

So, he never let me give it a ride. |pissed| Not even the friggin' sporty.

Then he got the FatBoy, then just kept moving 'up' the line. Has a Heritage now.

Not that this bothers me or anything...

It's true that parts are easy to get but they are really expensive. Anything that goes on a Harley that is made by Harley Davidson is expensive. My wife ordered me the sidecar that goes with my bike several years ago. I waited over 2 years for it then said screw it, give me my money back. The cost for the sidecar was $8k. You could buy a lot of different bikes for that price.
