Reverse Or No Reverse?

[rhino 2]

A friend hit me with this, But didn't give me the answer;

You saw a shirt for 97$ 'You don't have the cash so you borrowed 50$ from your Mom' And 50$ from your Dad = 100$, You buy the shirt and you have 3$ change, You give your Dad 1$ , And you give your Mom 1$, And keep the other 1$ for yourself, So now you owe your Mom 49$, And your Dad 49$ = 98$ + Your 1$ = 99$
Where it the missing 1$ ??

I have 2 trikes with reverse and one without one. Dyna super glide with the mystery fender kit, IRS.
I rarely use reverse because I did the mystery kit first and was used to not having one. I just park so it's easy to get out. Plus they are easy to push if need be.
The goldwing uses the starter so I prefer not to use it just in case. The freewheeler is so light I can back it up sitting on the seat. I only have one leg that is strong enough to use.
Baker has a reverse for the DD7.
I have the DD6 in my super glide and I love it.
I wanted to go the the DD7 but my builder said it was a big IF for it to handle the power so I went with the DD6 instead. Easy add on for both the transmission and reverse.

There's no missing $1. The reasoning is wrong. The 1$ you kept is already counted in the $98 you owe them, so you don't have to count it again.
You paid $97 for your shirt and you kept $1. That's how you spent the $98 you borrowed from them.

Maybe it's a different warranty company then the one we have here. The dealers in the Chicago area only offer 3 -5 or 7 year ESP's. (1-3 or 5 extra)

Is yours the H-D branded one?? Can you extend your extension also??

Rhino, I heard the same story many many years ago, but it was a hotel check-in scenario.

Yea, When i first heard the puzzle i got lost at 97 dollars for a shirt .

I wonder why the difference? State laws regarding warranties maybe?? :Shrug:

I'm debating on whether to spend the $$ on the reserve for my kit or not.
I would like to hear some thoughts on this. I'm thinking here in Florida being flat, I may not need this option. The kit only adds a couple hundred pounds to the bike according to the specs, but I wonder if they took in consideration that your removing probably 100 pounds when you remove the rear wheel and saddle bags, etc... Thanks!

If you are going to do it use the gear set up!!!!!

Just got off the phone with Baker and they don't offer a reverse kit for their DD7.
So I would have to go with the electrical if I choose to have reverse at all.

Nothing for a 7-speed.

I've got mechanical reverse. I don't use it a lot, but when I need it, it's there. If I had it to do all over again, I'd get it again and I'd still get mechanical.

get the reverse, as they are the same as the starter
