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.

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 ?

Some folks may find brand bashing very hurtful Brad.

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.

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

Yeah you guys are funny.
The Vic's will run circles around your bikes Oh, maybe you don't want to talk about trying to keep up on the trip around Sacandaga Lake at the National. I can't remember if you went on that trip or not Norm, if you did you were so far back I never saw you
