So this "Kid" I work with....
Comes up to me and asks, "What kind of bike is that?"
I say, "Electra Glide".
He says, "Cool, I'm going to test drive a bike like that tomorrow, what should I look for?"
I say, "The obvious and the usual, like anything else you buy. What is it?"
He says, "Not sure it has bags like yours and the other stuff too, and they only want $10K for it".
Again I ask, "What is it?"
He says, "I don't know, its black and gray and sweet!"
I say, "Might be an anniversary edition, what is it?"
He says, "Its a Harley!"
I say, "Well then, you better buy it!"
TRUE STORY!
Future Poser coming your way!

Come to find out it was a 2009 Ultra. Said he test drove it last night, and it was the biggest POS in his opinion. The radio quit working! Out of the mouths of babes.

I take it by the deleted post, some may think I'm being a bit harsh in this kid. But to be brutally honest, I wouldn't want to share the road with him. I work with him everyday, and yes he most certainly does need help! He's in his mid twenties, but acts like a high schooler, and that's being nice!
Yes we were all green horns at one point in our Harley careers. Hell I didn't even know what an EVO was until I bought mine. But at least I knew I was buying an Electra Glide with a carbureted 1340cc motor, and that it was a fair price compared to the Blue Book value.

I really wasn't trying to be a *ick posting this thread. But I can certainly see how it came across that way to some.
