Motorcycles are a lot like boats. People really want them until they own them. Then they find out that in most weather riding sucks, and with the general lack of skill of American drivers it’s somewhat suicidal, so they sell it.
I was surprised to hear that my brother in law sold his Street Glide recently. He said he is tired of taking his life into his own hands every time he has to share the road with the terrible drivers out there.
Still have Heritage but the concern about the hazards is taking away the fun.
2 weeks ago a guy on a bike hit a hole left in the road by a careless backhoe operator and crashed and "ground most of his face off". Shortly after that a guy died when he t-boned a car that didn't stop for a light.
Two years ago the safety guy who worked with our company was killed when t-boned by a pick-up truck.
Two best days of a boat owner’s life are the day he buys one and the day he sells it.
If something Floats, Flys or F____; rent it. Its cheaper in the long run for most people. There are other things that fall into that category.
Problem is that there is no adventure or recklessness in following this rule.
