I had a good size 4+ foot black snake in my garden shed (behind equipment  & shelves). 

I tried to move him but he got irritated.  So I made a deal with him; don't bite me, and you can stay in here and eat any mice you find.  He stayed a few days and moved on.

Black snake is a good friend to have outside of the house.

Well, I thought your post might be about a snake.

But after bouncing around here, I guess you got a black new bike.

What flavor?

Never.

I've had 2 test rides. One when at Sturgis for about 10 or 12 miles. After 5 minutes I was ready to get off the bike. Vibration galore. Numb fingers. Horrible.

The next time was at a dealer north of metro Atlanta. A touring version.

Foot position placed me in a position that I can imagine women are only too familiar with when getting a certain kind of physical inspection. That plus the vibration.

A co-worker has one. But this is a guy that only has the brightest, shiniest things in his life. He only rides it on the sunniest of days, I'd be surprised if it moves more than once a month in the summer, only.

Personally, I think they're kind of ugly.
