But seriously, have the old man throw in the daughter as part of the bargain, and I'd say you got yourself a deal!

On second thought, can we see a pic of the daughter? That would solidify any offer on my part.

I’ll admit to being out there riding and thinking – am I really enjoying this? Other times…when the weather is just right or seeing some great scenery and feeling more a part of it… I realize that there is nothing I had rather be doing.

I feel for the boyfriend, he lost his bike. they probably broke up over it. My wife wishes I looked at her the way i look at my bike!

there's an available young lady who has her own bike (and apparently a job, as she's making the payments) in the mix here and you're worried about her old man?

some highlights i got from your OP...20 something daughter...recently left her boyfriend...2009 nightster

forget educating daddy dearest. educate his daughter. teach her how to care for the bike, how to ride it, how to maintain it, then teach her how to get on all 4's........

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?
I would have just said "yeah, I guess I understand 'cause I really don't get the giving up your ********* thing guys like you do" and walk away.

Some people are not INTO bikes. I don't like rap music, and matter how hard someone tries to tell me what I am missing.....not gonna happen. Leave the guy alone. It's not your bike.....so what if the battery is dead?
