A 1st for me

[Pat Kelly]

A co-worker is buying her 1st bike. She has chosen A Harley Sporster. She isn't going to ride it until she completes the MSF course but she wants the bike NOW.
I'll be going to the dealer with her and she wants me to tell her if the bike is not right for her (I'm trying to be reasonable).
If she buys it she wants me to ride it to her house. This will be my 1st time riding a Harley.
Should I get a tattoo first? Since my hair is short should I get a pony-tail wig or shave my head? I do have a leather jacket and chaps and black Tshirt.
Or should I show-up with my Joe Rocket Phoenix gear (blue) wearing my XS11 hat? Sounds good to me.
(now where'd I leave my kidney belt??)

Pat;
You NEED your Joe Rocket gear and XS11 hat!! At least, the dealer may know you can ride a REAL motorcycle!!

Don't forget to act like any other bike is a POS. If you are driving it from the dealers, then bring it back after a couple of minutes, and tell them it must be misfiring, because it sure is shakin' alot. And then complain about getting passed by a Honda Helix.

[Jerry]

No No No...

You gotta get a do-rag! They'll know when you take off the helmet that your ar a real rider, not a poser. Show up in the chaps with some leather fringe hanging off your hand grips. That'l impress 'em.


(Only a Joke, son....)

Get the tatoo and shave yer head, wear the chaps and sandles. Don't forget that when the light turns green, Ya gotta nail it so you can prove somthing to all the people that were starin at you at the light.

I have yet to head to the HD place.
On the way home from work I rounded a corner as the light was turning red for me. In the left lane of cross-traffic was 2 Harleys. Their light turned green and they rattled everyones windows as they took-off after me. I played with them for a couple of blocks, letting them catch-up then pulling away. As we came to a school zone I slowed-down and they continued on past me, grinning like they won a race. Now they can tell their buddies they out-ran a Jap bike.
I do like the idea of complaining that the bke isn't running right. After they futz with it for a while I'll comment "well it dosen't run like my 25 year-old Yamaha"

Pat, I'd find another place to work. Co-workers who are, um, well, not right... Never know what's next.

[Pat Kelly]

Well, it's a hospital with 2,700 employees. 97% are female. 70% are very good looking.
This is one of the better (hot, hot, hot) ones that's wanting the bike.
As it is, she said she'd call when she was heading to the dealer (4:30ish). At 6:00 she called asking why I didn't show. Now SWMOB is meeting with her Sat. (wife works there too) to help her.
Guess I won't have to ride a Harley after all.

What's the address of that hospital???

Well, all the doctors and lawyers that ride harleys up here, when the dealership has the free hotdogs on Saturday, they just don't shave that morning, and put on a pair of jeans that hadn't been washed in two days. So... I guess that that's the "tough guy" look that you should try to emulate.
More of the women that I see... start out on a Ninja 250 to learn.
(Of course, I've done about 4 insurance crash estimates this year for them, but it's a relatively cheap bike to learn on.)

Actually a Sportster is a very nice around town bike. Very torqy and pretty good handling. Not worth the asking price in my opinion but not a bad bike anyway. They remind me a lot of the British bikes I used to ride.

Tell the dealer, "IT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH! It needs open drag pipes bolted on with no rejet so it'll backfire and pop and need to constantly be cleaned out while waiting for the light to change like a real man's bike." Oh I forgot, Harley riders consider a Sportster a GIRL'S bike anyway.

[Geezer]

The last Harley shop I worked at had a code name for this. If the work order for a new Harley had "check mufflers" written on it, that meant to take a long steel rod we had (that had been ground to a long tapered punch) and pound it through the center baffels. No harley rider wanted a quiet bike...

On the other hand that's why nearly new Harley mufflers are so cheap. I have a pair of stock sportster mufflers on the Mongrel and they're great.

Well, she wants one all black (she really likes the look of my MNS). She wants louder exhaust and the ignition 'chip' that goes with it. SHe also showed me the artwork she wants painted on the tank....... WOW! It's in the style of the WWII noseart, a nude, and it looks just like her.

Tell her to take a MSF course while the bike is getting painted.
