WTF do you people look like?

You could buy a lot of different bikes for that price.

Yeah- but what does that have to do with the yin and yang of me offering my cousin to ride my bike which had parts that simply cannot be replaced?

I mean, we are talking about *maybe* a tip over accident because shit happens...but nothing worse if you are on a slow side street or parking lot, etc...

Now- if it has a custom paint job- I can understand that. But we are talking about a Sportster at the time. I have since ridden one and it is far easier to ride than my Honda Sabre was.

All HD's are super low to the ground, making it really near impossible for a decent rider who isn't a crazy fuck to tip over.

So, if GG was a cousin of yours and not only helped teach you how to ride, but drove home a starter bike in the dead of winter, and offered up his 750cc with full fairing and other parts that cannot be replaced- AND you knew he had enough money to replace the scuffed parts in the even of a tip over...

...you still wouldn't let him sputter around a parking lot?

Not that this bothers me mind you.
