A few of you may have heard my rants about my neighbor and his bikes for those that havent well.
My neighbor has an 84 Honda Rebel, nearly identical to the one I had back when I first started riding. and also a 2005 Honda Shadow, which he has since gotten rid of and now has a Suzuki Volusia .. anyhow, the bikes are parked outside without shelter or even a cover, and I can count on both hands the number of times Ive seen him and or his wife ride this entire year. Both are beautiful bikes, but over the course of this year Ive walked by those bikes, every single day and slowly watched as the rotors are rusting, the exhaust, the header pipes are really bad, and basically every bolt on the bike showing some kind of rust, not to mention the chrome is so dull you cant even see yourself in it. The volusia is starting to show similar signs now as well.
Its not my business because they arent my bikes but as a rider and someone who values my bike.. it just kills me every day to see these beautiful machines going to waste way before they're time. Sorry just had to rant but Im this close to either buying the guy 2 motorcycle covers and leaving them on his door step or asking him if he atleast considered a storage unit for them or something. Again Ive only seen this guy now and then becuase of the hours I work so I cant say I know him from adam or anything about him, but comon if you can afford a 2005 shadow, a new volusia, and the rebel to boot, cant you atleast afford 20.00 on ebay for bike covers ????
