Time is running out....
...to loan me a bike for a day (or a few hours). :)
I've been bikeless for a couple of years and I'm jonesing bad. If anybody in the Sparta/Elkin, NC or Independence/Galax, VA area has a spare bike they'd like to let me ride for a few hours, I'd appreciate it. I completely understand if nobody wants to take this on. You don't know me and don't know how I ride.

What CJ said, well you don't have to rent a Harley.
They rent all kinds of bikes.

Why would you want to ride anything else?

Some folks may find brand bashing very hurtful Brad.

That's okay Norm -- Brad's brand has abandoned him.

I'm currently unemployed. No money to rent a bike. If I borrowed someone elses, I'd pay for the gas, of course but that's a pittance compared to renting a bike.

The HD dealer here says they don't do rentals any more. (?)
Would that be a franchise decision ?

When I was bike less and needed a "fix" I just went down to the dealer and picked out a used bike and took a "test" ride. They generally would be a bit miffed if you were gone longer than 1/2 and hour though.

Gerry - Thank you.
duffy - I hadn't thought about that. Might have to look into that. Good idea.
