Would anyone be interested in Renting their second gen? (IA, WI, IL Area)

[GG54172]

I am going to throw this out there. I am not sure if i will get a response.

 

I am going to become a certified MSF instructor. I will be taking the certification course on the weekend of May 15th, 29th, and June 5th. I live in Dubuque, IA but the course will be in Milwaukee, WI. That's a decent drive for my nighthawk 750. (The bike will be fine, but I'd be pretty sore) I am currently looking to purchase a second Gen, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to rent their bike.

 

If not I have plenty of other options, I could just throw the nighthawk in the back of my truck too. (Not too bad of an idea, then I could bring the TW200 as a spare...)

 

Just throwing an idea out there. I would be negotiable.

Good luck with the course. Nice to have another MSF instructor in the group. Had a friend who took it not long ago, he's a member on here too.

Im just gonna throw this out there...renting a bike means that the insurance would probably be voided, since most of us insure them for personal and not commercial use. So...good luck with that.

I'd bring a bike on the truck. In Illinois we used TW's for class. I was trained as an instructor in 2002. I taught the minimum of a class a year for the next 4 seasons to keep my certification. I let it go last year because I didn't have the time. I found that after working a whole week of work that I had no desire to work the weekend teaching too. I'd have stayed on if there was a way to teach shorter periods.

Yeah, I was thinking I could purchase my own insurance.

I dont think you can purchase insurance for a vehicle that you dont own. I'm not sayin you cant reimburse someone for the wear and tear tho.

[SilvrT]

Around here, insurance generally covers anyone who has been driving for 10 yrs or more as an additional driver. So, if I wanted to, I could "lend" a person my scoot and if they wanted to pass a few bucks my way (under the table of course)... who'd be the wiser?

I understand. To me my motorcycles are a machine, to others it is something more.

 

That's fine.

 

My mother bought me my first gocart around age 8. It was a 2hp asphalt cart with a fiberglass penzoil indy replica body. That day we took the cart to the local catholic church parking lot. Before long there was a line of kids around the parking lot waiting for their turn to ride. We all had fun, and that has been my attitude about machines ever since.

 

I have taught more people how to ride, shoot, drive standard transmissions with my machines than I can even remember. I really enjoy it.

 

Just my perspective, that's all.
