Tried To Go For A Test Ride Today
On a R1200RT.
Salesman must have been a relative of LittleBear. He peered out the window at the clouds and said, "Not today, looks like it wants to rain, the roads are damp, and we don't do any test rides in these conditions." Ummmm, it hadn't rained in the last 12 hours, the weather predicted was mostly cloudy with a chance of evening thunderstorms, hazy hot and humid. Next nearest dealership is 80 some miles away in North Jersey, right in the middle of where the Turnpike starts to smell really bad. I don't go there. Maybe I'll take a ride down to the dealership in Maryland. Maybe not. Maybe I'm not cut out to ride a BMW? Too many weather variables.

Sounds like scar tissue has grown around the salesman's ramrod from leaving it in too long.
There's a lesson there...

Salesman claimed to own a H-D.
I think I made him feel bad when he told me, "You're gonna feel a big difference between the 110 HP this bike's got and yours with 70" I said, "Uhh more like 90 With over 100 foot pounds of torque" He looked at me like I just kicked his bike over. "How'd you get that? I had Barb's (H-D) put a kit into mine and it's not making anywhere near those numbers" Me: "You got to know a little bit about what you're doin" Maybe that's why he wouldn't let me take his scoot for a putt.

No trade here, I'm gonna sell it outright.
I wouldn't be able to sit for a month if I tried to trade it what with the raping I'd get for a trade in price.

Just be careful in snow. Pouring down rain and flooded roads are ok, gotta be careful in the snow though.
Just sayin'....

Well, I set up a time and I'm going to take the R1200RT out for a test ride tomorrow.
That is if it's not cloudy, windy, too sunny, too humid, if the atmospheric pressure is just right, if I bring 20 documents declaring my ability to be able to ride, breathe, see and execute manuvers all at the same time, and if the salesMAN doesn't have PMS (pussified motorcyclist syndrome). Just sayin'
