I need more money 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I need a good bit of cash so I can go and buy one of these road kings so I can find out what all the fuss is about. I go into the Harley dealers and they won't even walk over and say "HI, can I take your money?"
I would love to ride one for a while and see if it really is worth the extra 10 thousand dollars.

Re:I need more money 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hey I'm not, I'm being serious. A friend of mine just bought one of those Ultra Classic I think they call it and likes it. But hes in Flas and I can't ride it. I'm not saying anything bad about Harley, I would like to ride one and see what the deal is, that's all.

Never mind....

I guess I can't ask that.

I need to find a dealer that will let me ride one and find out.

HD has "demo ride events". I don't know how folks buy a bike without riding it first, but I don't know everything so maybe this is one those things.

Go here and look for a demo event near you.

They'll let you ride and you can get this out of your system.

You can rent one for a few hundred bucks for the weekend. Go on a Saturday morning. That's what I did, have to have it back to them on Monday morning. The dealership I went to couldn't process returns on Sunday and let me have a Ultra classic for $185 for Sat and Sun.

HD dealers do have ride days. I know around here, the two dealers each have a ride day. No cash required. You should attend one of them and take a few of the new models for a spin (I have).

If you want a more long term appreciation, then of those that you like, try and rent one for a few days.

I got the same reception at the Yamaha dealer, I don't think it's brand specific. (No, I didn't buy my R* at that dealership.)

Re:I need more money 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Just purchased a new car. I'm finding that the majority of the salesmen don't push their product hard.

I think this is the new sales technique where they don't 'sell' you a product ... you 'buy' it from them.

You know ... like that hard to get woman in the bar.

I thought it was just me...

I am going to take you up on that and see if I can find a dealer that will let me rent one. I'm serious, I want to know what they ride like. Every one on here seems to have such an option on them and I have never been on one.
I would just like to know what all the fuss is about.
