He’s really really nice,(we met this summer on vacation in Northern California) and he was SOOO sweet and nice,he listened to me and he wasn’t skeevy or creepy,and we talked about how it’s gross if an 18 yr old dude and 14 yr old have sex and we agreed on Alot of topics and spent Alot of time alone on the beach together and we talk through text like evvvveeerry day,so do you think it’s wrong?
I live in NC and he said he’d come visit me sometime and teach me how to ride a motorcycle!I’m so excited haha,he also hugged me really tight when he left,& he’s really hot lololololololol but he has a gf,but he told me when we met that he didn’t,but then on Facebook when he added me I saw all over his wall she wrote like,"I love you baby:)" and it said they were in a relationship
Do you think this is wrong,& do you think he didn’t tell me he was in a relationship for a reason??
THANKS!!!:)

Its fine if your FRIENDS but nothing more, But to me (18 year old girl) its kind of weird that an 18 year old male would even want to be friends with a 14 year old girl. Its kind of creepy, because most 18 year old guys are only interested in girls they can have sex with, and he may just be sucking up to you to get in your pants. Think critically about situations like this ALWAYS, What 18 year old guy would want to be friends with a 14 year old girl, none that I know. And as for the girlfriend, if the subject of a girlfriend/boyfriend came up and he said he didn’t have one then it was most likely a charade in hopes of getting in your pants, but if that subject didn’t come up he probably just didn’t see a reason to bring it up.
I personally see something like this as wrong. again what 18 year old wants to be friends with a 14 year old? It seems extremely strange to me, I personally wouldn’t trust it. In a parental view this would be incredibly wrong, and as for a relationship with him if it happened and you two had sex he could go to jail for rape, because even if you say yes by law he raped you.
I’m not trying to be a b*tch i’m being honest.

How much is a Harley Davidson Guitar worth?

Posted by admin On November - 30 - 2011

I have Harley Davidson Electric guitar. I know it’s Harley Davidson, because theres a sliver piece of metal at the top of the guitar and it says Harley Davidson Motor Co. I want to know how much it could worth. Thanks

Depends on who made the guitar. Is it American made or Asian, Is it electric or accoustic?

How do you change the headlight in a 2000 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic? I misplaced my service manual and don’t like to get into the bike without the reference guide.

Can anyone help me out with some simple step by step instructions or point me to a link with detailing how to change the bulb.

WOW. Hmmmm never mind.Ok just remove the screw at the bottom of the chrome ring and pull out at the bottom,then unhook the ring at the top.Then remove the headlight retaining ring screws and remove that ring.Pull out the headlight and unplug it.Un clip the bulb and replace it.Don’t touch the glass on the new bulb with your fingers.If you do clean it with a tissue and some alcohol.Oil from your fingertips will make the new bulb fail.

How should a motorcycle license plate be displayed in Illinois?

Posted by admin On November - 14 - 2011

I am wondering if it can be displayed vertical, on the side of the motorcycle, etc.

It can be vertical but must be lit at night.

Im moving to Oklahoma next year. A relative and a friend of mine have been tossing around the idea of starting a small motorcycle club together. We figured we would aply for an AMA (american motorcycle association) charter ,. The question is we cant figure out if we still need to ask permission from the big 1% club out there for permission first or will just being an AMA club work out for us with no complications?

While you don’t have to ask for permission, you still have to follow the rules. Get in contact with your local Confederation of Clubs, to find out the rules. Most of the rules deal with things like copy right infringement. Making sure that your club name and patch, doesn’t resemble another club.

Example; Black and white, are Outlaw colors. So make sure your patch does not, just have Black and white in it. As long as your patch doesn’t in any way, resemble theirs,your okay. Also don’t put a territory rocker on, or anything that looks like a 1% patch.

The 1% clubs don’t care about you or your club, as long as you can’t be mistaken for one of them, or compete with them.

Posted by admin On November - 7 - 2011


40 inch. You take 10 off.

I have dirt bike experience, but I have to be legal to test drive the street bike I’m thinking about getting. How do I get a motorcycle endorsement on my license if I don’t have a motorcycle to take the test on?

You take a course. Seems like most places charge $125.

What should I wear with a black leather motorcycle jacket?

Posted by admin On October - 20 - 2011

I’m going to a concert in a few weeks and I’m planning on wearing this black leather motorcycle jacket, but I have no idea what else to wear with it…I need some help!

well, i suggest you to wear a white tank top, a red skinny jeans, and a black gladiator sandals or stilleto or knee high leather boots. And try wearing a round silver drop earrings.

Hi I’m 18 years old and living in California, and I’m planning to purchase a motorcycle soon. I’m going to be taking the basic riders course (for my certificate) next month, and planning to get my permit immediately after. At the moment there is a deal for motorcycles, and I was wondering if I can pay for a brand new motorcycle month by month without having my license or insurance yet?

You can buy it, but you can’t register it in your name without insurance. And you will need a motorcycle license in order to get insurance. The bank doesn’t care if you have a license or not, but they will require insurance to protect their investment (they own the bike, you don’t). So the bottom line is, indirectly, no.

Another point: Most new riders drop their first bike once or twice, so it makes NO sense to start off with a brand-new bike. The first scratch, dent, etc. will cost you a ridiculous amount in depreciation, or a lot of money to fix.

Finally: Don’t buy ANY bike without finding out first what your insurance cost will be.

What is the best starter cruiser motorcycle?

Posted by admin On September - 26 - 2011

I am turning 18 in february and I am planning on getting a motorcycle. I have taken the MSF course and ridden friends motorcycles before, I do have my license

I want a cruiser type motorcycle and I want a 650 or 600, what are some good starter motorcycles that are cruisers?

Do you want to get a new one or a used one? For a new one the options are relatively limited anyway since bikes get bigger and bigger each year because of the engine displacement craze. Because of that, there are only very few new cruisers that have 600-650cc.

If you want to get a new one, pretty much the only options are:

- Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 (647cc, 72hp)
- Hyosung ST7 (678cc, 62hp)
- Suzuki Boulevard S40 (652cc, 31hp)

As far as I’m aware these three models are the only brand-name 600-650cc cruisers that are available new. Strictly speaking the Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 is the only one since the other two have slightly more than 650cc ;)

As you can see the Hyosungs (made in South Korea) are unusual among cruiser motorcycles since they have much more power (and are much higher revving) than cruisers by the more traditional manufacturers. I really like the Hyosung Aquila V80 / GV650 – it has a great price tag and very sporty looks for a cruiser. Nice curves. They also have very good reviews and are very reliable (there will always be one or two clueless fools who think that they are Chinese and hence poor quality). It is true, however, that parts availability is worse than for the more traditional manufacturers, since Hyosung has a much smaller dealer network.

If you want to get a cruiser with a slightly bigger engine, say 700-950cc, you’d have more options, such as the following:

- Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883 (883cc)
- Harley-Davidson Sportster Superlow (883cc)
- Honda Shadow RS (745cc)
- Honda VT750C(A) ("Shadow") (745cc)
- Kawasaki Vulcan 900 (903cc)
- Moto Guzzi Bellagio (936cc)
- Moto Guzzi California Vintage (757cc)
- Moto Guzzi Nevada (744cc)
- Suzuki Boulevard C/S50 (805cc)
- Triumph America (865cc)
- Triumph Speedmaster (865cc)
- Yamaha V-Star 950 (942cc)

If you want to get a used one you have more options. There are two bikes in the 650cc class that often appear on the used bike market. The first one is the Suzuki LS650 Savage, which is the predecessor of the Suzuki Boulevard S40. A nice one usually costs $2500-4000 depending on age, mileage, and extras. The second one is the Yamaha V-Star 650 (a nice one will usually cost $2500-7000 depending on age, mileage, and extras).
