A guy at work (who don't know dick about bikes) has just re-aquired his 20 something daughter who left her loser boy friend. She brings with her a 2009 nightster that she's been making the payments on for said loser b-frnd. It's been some months now and I asked today "you still got that bike?" He's already let the battery got to **** and god knows what else. He answers by saying, "I don't mean any offense to riders or anything but I don't get the whole bike thing. What's the big deal about going (he makes a motorcycle noise) everywhere, and the black leather thing and all that when you can just drive a car". I was dumb-founded and didn't know where to begin to try to explain or even decide if it'd be worth explaining. All I could think is if you don't ride, I can't explain. If I had started trying to explain I would have ended up getting in an argument about it because he's already got his mind made up that it's stupid. Anybody ever run into this?

Hell, even among those of us who like bikes, we don't all like the same things or understand why others like certain things, and we don't all like bikes for the same reasons.

Everyone knows bikes are dangerous... That there should be a law against riding them. It's just one more thing that the cell phone talking, texting, food eating, map reading, make-up applying, dip **** cagers have to deal with... they just have the time to look out for motorcycles... Duh!
