I learned recently that you don’t have to buy a motorcycle on your own, but you can have someone represent your interests much like a realtor does for real estate.  In fact, all you really have to do is specify what you are looking for, and they will do the work for you.

Once I had learned of this, I hired a cycle trader and met with him for coffee to discuss my needs.  I was looking for a nice beginner bike (if there is such a thing) as it was going to be my first motorcycle.  I was really looking for a used bike because I didn’t know if that was really what I wanted to do.

So, he told me that he would get back to me in a few days with some options from me.  I haven’t heard from him yet, but I can’t wait to see what he has for me - I will be on the open road, riding in no time.
