Always asks if I rode to work when weather is bad and if I rode on a weekend when weather was bad. He also tells me of every motorcycle that he knows that is for sale. This cat beats all. He got divorced and decided he was a biker. All of his conversation revolved around HD. He snagged a single chick who had her own bike with this heavy show and then proceeds to talk her into selling her bike and he sold his (which he had only owned about 4 months)"because we just can't afford them right now." Now she is aching to get a new bike but he ain't gonna get one though he keeps talking(the one thing he is good at) about it. I know for a fact that he is actually scared $hitless to ride. Extremely over paranoid about automobiles.

In the 4 months that he had a bike he managed to accumulate 50 HD t-shirts, completely redecorate an entire room of his home with every piece of memorabilia HD makes,( all of which he later sold at pennies on the dollar at a garage sale) got a tatoo...his guy takes the cake.

Here is the kicker, his mouth running is so bad that people compliment him on his harley when they see mine in the parking lot.

I just laugh and shake my head when I think about it.

After telling me a story like that the usually follow it with some comment how they never would get on a bike. Yep. I know. I know they'll never feel what I feel when I ride.

Sometimes like three or four times by different people.

I can take a joke and all, but it gets really old…….We were out of work the last three days because of ice here and sure enough this guy shot off about it. I sniped back that he was really witty and hoped he caught on that I’m getting tired of it.
