RedRider Posted September 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) OK, here's the scenario - My neighbor won 2 day rentals (that is qty 2 of a 1 day rental) from a local HD dealership. She doesn't ride nor does her husband, family, etc. She offered them to me. I have to use them this weekend or they expire. What to do? 1) As some of you know - I am a long distance rider. Should I go for BBQ? In Kansas City (1180 miles round trip). 2) Ask a friend to putt around the state for the day (paging Scooter Bob, Scooter Bob to the white courtesy phone)? 3) Should I just don some pirate wear, apply fake tattoos, put my wife in a tubetop, and go bar hopping? Decisions, decisions. RR Edited October 2, 2012 by RedRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted September 28, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2012 I'd go for option 1 or 2.... the Hardley dealer won't believe the milage when the bike gets returned ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted September 28, 2012 Well, looks like BBQ is the winner. Anybody up for an M&E at Arthur Bryant's - KC, MO (or KC, KS - there's one in each from what I understand)? Going to rent a Road Glide. Basically the same as the Ultra Classic, but with a fixed fairing instead of a fork mounted fairing. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman Posted September 29, 2012 Share #9 Posted September 29, 2012 Man, you gonna fall in love with that roadie and be a changed man, suddenly the tat's will be real and tube tops are only the half of it....No really! Have fun and plus one on the BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarylarry Posted September 29, 2012 Share #10 Posted September 29, 2012 Option one and have the wife follow you in a chase vehicle, you might need one... Really do the BBQ then if you ever thought or wanted to own a HD this will be a true test.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share #11 Posted September 29, 2012 Yup, heading out in a couple of hours to hit BBQ. I certainly don't need to worry about being a changed man. My Venture has my favorite feature in a motorcycle - IT'S PAID FOR!! Don't expect to upgrade the Venture for another 5 or 6 years. Want to roll 200k on it. Then maybe a Triumph Explorer, or a BMW GS, or ....... Not likely a HD. However, I am really looking forward to the ride. Should be fun.

The Marshal Posted September 29, 2012 Share #12 Posted September 29, 2012 That is awesome! I hope you have a great time, and great weather for a ride. Would enjoy hearing about your ride when you get time. ~Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorcycle_1300 Posted September 29, 2012 Share #13 Posted September 29, 2012 I would ask if they can be turned in for cash, or offer them to somebody I dislike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Bob Posted October 1, 2012 Share #17 Posted October 1, 2012 Jeff stopped by our little town about 4 this afternoon, had about 850 on it at the time, but didn't want to give it back with less than 1000 miles on it. I'm sure he'll fill everyone in on the trip when he gets home and get's a chance (like at work tomorrow:stickpoke:). Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share #19 Posted October 1, 2012 I will put together a full write up when I get a chance later today. The HD is a nice bike and performed flawlessly. However, the Venture will certainly be staying in the stable. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR I think you should send your wife to answer the white courtesy phone then on the BBQ alone Ask Scooter Bob to put on a tube top, ride passenger on the HD, and you and him bar hop together around the state. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
