Well, the GL1800 IS a car. They just forgot two of the wheels.
...and all this time I thought it was an RV. Thanks Jack.

being nearly 55, I am "old school". Which means I was raised on Japanese bikes. Not sure I am up to speed on this new Harley stuff. I am sure you younger guys are up to good with it. I am just not sure, being "old school".
They are delivering to his house for free since he is taking the beginner MSF course this weekend.
You have to scour the internet and local papers--look at garage sales. I have a 1983 CB1100f that I bought with 16K miles and a 1974 XL350 that I bought with 6K miles and I bought and sold a 1998 Blackbird with 4K on it last year. None were "cheap" but I didn't pay full amount for them either.

At 56, I understand the "old school" comment, though it's not a good choice of words. I belong to the "Honda generation". I remember when the myths were not myths and Japanese was the only logical choice for a reliable motorcycle.

Out of curiosity, is he taking the Rider's Edge course, or the MSF version? Wayne
He did the MSF version through Ft. Bliss. It was two days long.
I'll add my $.02
I use to bag on Harley's a lot, but that was before I rode one. My dad own a giant Suz Boulivard C90T, and an even more Giant Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classis.
The Suz is HEAVY and feels heavy, and on paper the Harley is almost 220 lbs more, but it is much easier to ride and much smoother, I'll ride the bigger Harley over the Suz anyday.
His has been to Big Bend and back twice, down the 3 sisters more than once and a few other small road trips and no problems yet (other than mom falling alseep riding pilon )
and some day THERE WILL be a Buell Uly in my garage.
