I do most of my own ( and buddies) work but the indy is $95 an hour labor and the Stealership $150 !!

    I saved for many many years to buy myself a motorcycle. When I got married, bought a house and had some kids. All my money went to care for them , obviously!!
    Sadly my youngest daughter passed away and my savings pegged for a motorcycle was spent on her funeral and for the care of her daughter. I adopted my granddaughter and now she is the focus of my life.
    I can’t see a situation that I would be able to EVER buy a bike. I was planning on a trip to Bert’s to buy a bike. I knew I would have found my dream bike there if things had been different. So I just watch these videos all about Bert’s place and watch Josh have a blast riding them. His journey has become my only access to motorcycles and the joy that they bring to him.
    Best wishes to all and I’d like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas.
    God bless the motorcycle
    World and a shout out to Bert’s for allowing Josh to
    Ride, review and be 100% honest about his reviews.
    ✌️❤️🇺🇸
