Same here: My friend who has never even ridden a moped talks of owning a Sportster.
I recommended a scooter (not sure if he knows how to drive a manual transmission) or 250 Rebel/NH to start out with. Bernie- On 03/12/12, surfswab wrote: +1 on image. I have a buddy I refer to as an aging redneck hippy. Known him for maybe 30 years. Occasionally, he fantasizes about "gettin' a Harley." He's never owned a bike. Not particularly interested in bikes. His eyes glaze over whenever I talk about mine. Dunno if he's ever sat on one, even. Yet, in his fantasy he's as much a Harley snob as any who actually own one. Go figure.
