Always had an itch to have a Harley but shyed away from it because the nearest dealer was too far for servicing etc. We now have a dealer in Swansea about 15 miles from me so went to have a look last Saturday.
I had a demo ride on the new Fat Bob and found it so comfortable and a lot quicker and nicer to ride than you would think, so I did a deal for one in black. It's on a ship on it's way so it will be about 5 weeks getting here just in time for a 14 reg.

Nice one pete, go get it!! I had an 883 about 5 years ago, dont listen to negative harley talk, they arnt sportsbikes , they arnt sports tourers, they are harleys. On the first ride, clear your mind set of riding jap bikes and start a fresh, and you will learn to love it.

no my last bike was a harley 883 , and i didnt bloody like it very poor brakes cross ply tyres it did not handle
but park it anywere and it draws a crowd which my sports bikes did not ,
i,ll find a pic

On as ship for five weeks, where's it coming from, China?

Nice!
I still have that Harley Itch to scratch!
Never been on one but no doubt will one day........

That's stretching the imagination a bit.
Harleys are not motorcycles, they are two seater pirate ships.

You cant say that!!! "if harley davedson made aircraft would you fly in one"????
Seriously, I think they are great, just dont compare them to other bikes , ive mates who own harleys and wouldnt dream of selling them.

I've read somewhere that of all the Harley's ever made, 95% of them are still on the road.

Apparently the remaining 5% actually made it home!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.
