I was in Fayetteville, Arkansas this morning, and saw a 2002 sporty for sale with 6k miles for $4k. I wanted to buy it for something to ride to work and back, but decided that since I was leaving town in a half hour, maybe I'd hold off.

A half hour later, with my family in the car, we drove be the bike on our way out of town. My daughter said, "Dad, that's a cool Harley." My wife responded to her that I had wanted to buy it, but decided that I just didn't have the time to look at it. My daughter retorted with, "Well, you should just buy it for me and if it has any problems, I'll fix it."

She's only 12.

That is awesome! My boys are only 2 but LOVE motorcycles. I cannot wait for them to get just a little older so we can start riding dirt bikes...

If you want your boys to be able to ride you had better start speaking out against the lead law that affects kids dirtbikes.
Unless things change the ban goes into affect at the end of the year.

I didn't buy it, but I sure wish I had. I just didn't have the time to look at it.

Also, I didn't know that about the kids bikes. That is not cool, since I planned to buy one for my son soon.

my son was 17 i looked in the classified and saw a reasonably priced jaguar xjs convertible. i said, hey come on let's look at this. if we like it i'll buy it for you.
he said: dad, i'm just not that into cars.
he didn't drive until he was 19!
