To my way of thinking, the more responsible motorcyclists I can get on the road, the better. Getting them to choose an HD...bonus points.
A friend of mine who recently moved back to MD, fell in love with a V-rod years ago at a motorcycle show, when it first came out. He took the riders edge couse and got his license but he never got around to getting a bike.
To put the bug in his ear and since he moved back, I offered to let him ride my 2007 UC and my wifes 2002 Dyna Low Rider. We are planning to head out tomorrow and practice in a parking lot for a bit and then hit some back roads when traffic is light. I am about 95% sure this will break him and he will be at the dealer in a week.
My goal is to try an get two people riding, before 2011 is over.
Imagine if all the members on this board got 1 more rider on the road?
I see so many people that take a good hard look at motorcyles riders when you pull up and park or when you pass people in cages. I think that many may be very curious, but are afraid to ask. And, if you are interested, waiting and finding a "Demo Days" at a dealership can be tough.
So, I throw down the gauntlet to you fine HD Talking members: Can you infect another with your love of riding and HD? You could start the converstion with points on fuel prices and the relatively high mpg combined with riding "in style"....(I think the "style" factor helps cancel out high octane fuel prices and ~$200 tires, when you get them to commute on an HD!....it is difficult to put a price on style, isn't it?!?!?)
(Now to work on a coworker........:s)
