I have taught my kids from the day they could talk to NEVER ask someone how much they earn, or how much they paid for something. I can hardly think of something more insulting to ask someone. If it happens to be in regard to a Harley, that will only spark the debate about whether or not they are overpriced. I always answer that one with, "Not as much as you might think."

How about this: "If you don't mind me asking, how much does something like that set you back"?
God I hate that!!!

Being that the median income of Harley owners is in excess of $80,000/year, I guess Harley's do have a bit of a financial stigma.
But last I checked, it's rude to ask anyone what they paid for anything. Friend or stranger.

Depends on my mood and the traffic I just tried to ride in but usually I tell them not as much as the divorce would have.

RE: Why can't people just say, "Nice bike."
When asked about the cost or my financial situation pertaining to my scoot I tell em one of two things.
1. My dad always taught me if ya gotta ask the price, you probably can't afford it(blunt but shuts em up)
OR
2. I don't know, it was a birthday present from my wife(this always gets a blank stare, but it is true, except the part about I don;t know)
