No, I think those are designed to clear cobwebs between trees to keep them from getting in your face.

Did you give the asking price or did you get it cheaper?

I've been buying new and used bikes for me and my kids for a lot of years and always try to get the bikes for less. I'll check with other shops for the best possible price and go back to local shop to see if they can match the best price found elsewhere.

Now the local shop salesman will not even talk to me.
I told him I was looking for the best deal I could get.
He pointed at the price tag then walked off. So I walked out.

I've put a good amount of money into this industry for 40 years and I feel like I should get a better deal than the new guy getting into the sport.

If they would offer a small discount up front I might not go shopping.

I get the joke; but, the even better joke is when you pass guys on the track with your mirrors on!

It stops being a street bike when some fast guy wheelies by you tooting the horn on one....

How about if they pull the holeshot and turn the right turn signal on going into a left hand first turn?

You appear to have a bush stuck under your rear fender. Might want to remove that before your first ride. And check sprocket bolt torque. Enjoy! Sweet ride!

Sick ride, those dual sport pumpkins are badass.
