Harley Davidson is now being a douche as well. Someone better call the police and CPS and report them! Sorry to bump the thread, but I could not help myself.

This video just proves theres stupidity going on all over the world. The salesman in the video made a comment his first thought was I'm not sure a 15 year old can even buy a Bike. He didn't explain how that happened. I know he didn't test ride the bike. You have to have a drivers license with a Motorcycle endorsement before they will let you on one. I noticed them riding side by side at times in a tight group. With him being inexperienced, what do you thinks going to happen if a car cut's them off or swerves into their lane and one or more has to make a quick maneuver. as for calling the police or cps, I wouldn't! I don't care man. It's their kid, do whatever makes you happy. I hope they are lucky enough to dumb through this one.

I think the salesman was saying he did not know if a 15 year old could sign the paperwork, as he said "buy a motor vehicle" not "buy a motorcycle". Some states allow drives license at 15 with restrictions, like Idaho for example. I do not know what state these folks were in.

Really I am just having fun, I think people are too darn uptight these days.

I agree 100%! What is this world coming to? I mean ... seriously .... an accordian? Who in their right mind would let their 15-year-old kid play an accordian? That's just asking for trouble IMO.

Since I don't have all the facts about driving restrictions in all states, I'll hold my tongue on the 15-year-old driving/riding thing.....

Let's just all hope and pray this young man rides responsibly and rides safe.

I would not want to knowingly ride with that kid. He certainly is inexperienced, he definately is not licensed and may not be insured. If not insured and he crashes out and takes you with him, your insurance would have to pay and make your rates go up. How is protecting your health and your financial help making you a douchebag/ Not at all.

Since yuo said the parents ride with you occassionally, I'd voice my concerns to the regular members of the group, tell them you'll be glad to ride withthe kid when he is properly licensed, insured and has experience to group ride.
