Wow, that was long. Is there a version for those of us with a short attention span.

Sure:

Dad says "no bikes"
I get a buell
I trade up to a Yami Warrior
Start riding hard, get a sportbike and race school
Get bored with street riding on a sport bike
Married, divorced, depressed
Buy my first Harley and fall in love with riding all over again, now I "get it".

theres loads of **** drivers in england as well , seems the same types in all countries ,
i hate to say it but women seem the worse for distracted driving , followed by old people , then theres the youngsters in crap wagons who think there in an Aston martin and the only Pratt on the road ,
i think you did pretty well when you consider its your new bike , i know a few people that would have been a lot less verbal and a lot more physical , if not to her then to the car at least , she got off light .
but alls well in the end and who knows , she may look next time .

Yeah, I agree, no one got hurt, nothing got damaged, and no one went to jail, so I really can't complain all that much.

I just wonder if I gave her a bad image of all "bikers" or not. I sure hope that I didn't, but you just never know.

I am going to be honest... I only read about 2 sentences because it looked like a novel.

But I did read enough to know that you are a new Harley owner and you are very happy.

That makes me happy.

Congrats and ride safe...

That's ok, I didn't read a thing you typed because I can't stop staring at your avatar.

Bad image or not, maybe she'll look next time. And maybe you saved another bikers life.
