Yah sorry, pretty clear you have not ridden any modern Harley for any real amount of time. And saying that remember I don’t particularly like them. As my cousin always said “anything with tits or wheels will give you trouble”, but as long as you actually ride it once in a while and engage in proper PM you will not…

Mix and match is the way to be. I love my ‘couch’ but commute on a BMW because its a better tool for that job. Usually.

Yes, but I still get through traffic a lot easier than in a car.

Yup. Close, but not for 3,250.. this is more like 2400-2000. To many fun cheap options in this price range.

Sure there is - Incentive financing that is free or close to free, or the scenario described in the article where you take the financing for a very short term to get a discount then pay off the loan before it is due.
Ex. We bought a bed. They have promotional 0% financing for 12 months. We took it, and payed the…

Funny, I use to live just down the road from Mayport (Atlantic Beach). I live on the northside now, but will actually be down in the keys for this whole visit... bummed out, would be cool to see!

That’s what pisses me off so much about the “If 10% is enough for God it’s enough for the IRS!” stickers... Does God pave your roads? Employ your EMT’s and firemen? etc. etc. etc.... We are pooling our resources to buy necessary infrastructure that helps us all, lets try and be smart and efficient about it.…

That’s just a matter of scale, we have a larger GDP as well as a larger population. And it should be incrementally cheaper for each additional person, efficiency of scale and all that...

Plus, we actually have universal healthcare right now... Just in the dumbest way possible, the emergency room. Literally the most expensive possible way to deal with it. Preventative care is relatively cheap, overwhelming moral arguments aside, and you take a huge burden off the ER.

I burn through summer weight gloves in about 2-3 months - I tear out the cuffs.

Pirates vs. ninjas!

Start now. Gather gear, take the MSF course, find a $1400 piece of shit and ride!!! Welcome friend, come play with us! :)

Yup. The slowest of the slow bikes is just different than even the fastest of the fast cars. On a bike you can just reach out and touch the pavement, it’s RIGHT THERE. Any loose flap of clothing is felt in the wind and you steer with your ass more than your hands.

Right, you CAN get a runner for 3k. But this one is in beautiful shape, aside from the don’t run part. With the extras its worth every penny of the 2500 or less you would actually pay, easy to work on with a great community for support.

It’s an easy fall, come over to the dark side... we ride all the damn time!

^ This. Everyone always freaks out about bikes going fast ‘what if you hit a pebble on the highway??’. Umm, the bike will keep going in the same direction with little if any wobble?

Wow, actually grouping by riding ability?? Amazing.

Actually we have some of the top charter schools in the country (Stanton prep for one).

The US military are not cops. We are REALLY good at blowing stuff up, taking strategic objectives, etc. But tell us to go door to door on foot and make nice with the locals, while hunting VERY small units of locals... that’s not war! You are dead on with your assessment, it’s all about politics. 100 years ago we would…
