there`s a Warr's Harley-Davidson in SE9 down the road, been past thousands of times yet never ventured in, that reminds me, will have to dig out me first leather jacket from 1977 its a B52's Pilot frank thomas pilot jacket out of the loft, tried it on a couple of years ago and still fits :lol: (always had a large chest) :lol: its just so bloody heavy :shock: there`s one on ebay right now with a 42" chest if you feeling nostalgic :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHARITY-SALE- ... 1c57ba0d69

A Harley made in India - no thanks!

I'd prefer the 500cc version anyway, but we won't even get the chance of buying that one

Some bits look a slightly cheapo, wonder what its like to ride?

Bloody awful unless your a hobbit(with tiny feet) My mate loves his 883 and is now an HD fan (would never have said that 3 years ago) anyhows as an upshot "we" go to Lakeside HD regularly to try new metal.

I just got given the keys to the "cheapo" trinket my mate has a full run down of the 1200 whatever it was he tested.

I'm now at the point I can't find a comfortable riding position on the "cheap seats" HD and had arranged but cancelled 3 test rides (due to weather) on the glides.

Yet Suzuki/Kawasaki cruisers I'm fine on-go figure

Well, got to say I loved my Majesty, Tmax and GTS300 Touring, for what I wanted them to do. I now have a Honda NC750X DCT and I love that too, but nothing beats a sunny day on my Harley 72 even with the 50 mile stops to fill up. Just need some sunshine in the Spring and I may get another GTS 'cause that thing rocked. icon_wink-.gif Wales.gif

Don't like that new water cooled thingy, it's like a Tata Harley not a proper one. icon_wink-.gif Wales.gif
