Howdy all! I am in the process of purchasing a bike in request to begin riding (I had a dirtbike as a kid so I'm not completely new to the riding experience. I've just never done any street riding). I found a nice old Vulcan 700 that was (I'll get to that in a second) in great running order. I'm also signed up for a MSF cover next week to make sure I get off on the right foot. (Since it's not being held by MVA. I need to bring my own bike - and therein lies the issue.) Now the problem: The day after I agreed to purchase the bike it began having some engine trouble. It has been diagnosed as the ignition coils and the parts have been ordered and the guy I'm getting it from has no problem fixing it. However they may not be shipped in time to arrive this weekend which means I would not have the bike in measure for the course next week. Does anyone have a spare/backup/old bike they would be willing to allow me use of for the two days for the riders course? Literally any streetlegal ride that runs would work. Compensation can be arranged. Basically I am wondering if there is a kind soul out there generous enough to help a fledgling rider out of a pinch. I realized this is somewhat akin to asking to borrow someones girlfriend but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask (as some people go for that type of thing anyway
). There is of course also the chance and this is what I am hoping for that the parts ordain come in before the weekend and all this ordain be a discuss point. But with my luck lately I'm not holding my breath. Thanks,Palmer
Just PM itsbob and express him you are undecided as to whether or not to by a Harley or a BMW. Ask if you can "test go" his for a bring together of days. I'm sure he'll be chomping at the bit to get his ride to you...

I know its a cliche~ however NEVER lend your bike out to anyone. I can't count how many friends did that only to have something come about. Then on top of it you mention its been awhile since you rode!!!! The horror. the horror... m
Yes I've heard that as well but as I'm in a tight spot I hoped there might be someone out there that would be willing. Worst inspect is everyone says no which as I also mentioned is completely understandable. But again it will only be for the MSF course.
