I can't ride my new bike due to injuries from a wreck. A friend came over and I let him take my bike for a short test run. It looked and sounded great seeing it actually move. Having him and the other guy there both tell me that I stole my bike made me feel good. Paid 15,000 for 07 Street Glide with 1,000 miles and rinehart true duals, chrome controls, forks, and everything else. Gentleman spent 5 grand on parts before it left shop.
Just wondering how many people let others ride their prized possessions.
Yeah I have let quite a few guys try mine, and in return I've tried some of theirs too.
Best remark I've had yet is one guy got off & said "that was pretty wild but it's a bit too much motor and not quite enough cycle"
When I was in school a friend of mine rode my "new to me" bike back to campus after I bought it. He wrecked it. He was ok...a few rashes. Never again cause it cause's conflicts among friends
