    Knowing nowt about Harleys :confused: I stopped at the new showroom at Aylesford yesterday, just for a mooch around to see what it's all about. Had some older bikers there trying to talk me out of my prejudices against the whole chopper thing but I'm not convinced & still don't 'get it':rolleyes: . Heavy, wide, slow(ish), noisy (ok...noisy is good), expensive & take loads of cleaning. On the plus side they seem low tech, comfortable & they can look quite good.

    A secret cam would be funny, but the 'indiginous' Harley cognasuuur's default' reaction, as far as i can make out is..... if its not H.O.G or 1066 chapter, VERY shiney or you arn't looking - serious/hard/pissed off/ gruff/burly/constapated/sexualy ambivalent enough and the metal-recycled from China 'All American iron horse' hasnt got ££ of nasty accesories attached..anything else becomes. . . . . . . . Invisible . . . :hgiggle: no offence.....

    You are no fun........get in their faces!
    When I had the Dragstar, which was a loud and in your face type of bike, if I spied the 1066 lot out on a jaunt, I would overtake a couple and upset their regimented little group formation, then overtake a couple more, then some more.....could almost feel the hatred radiate off them, and of course, the confusion at their ranks being polluted! Oh and wearing a Harley sweatshirt on a Yamaha, that got them rattled too. :lol2::lol2::lol2:

    Will do exactly the same when Turmoil has his new pipes too if I get the chance. :whistle:

    Hearing that an acquaintance with a Hardly paid loads to have some full apes fitted (note...PAID to have some fitted WTF???) and now can't reach the grips.........
    More than "what made me smile"
    More a "what made me almost wet myself laughing"

    New levers and led indicators fitted to the bike and scratches nearly sorted in preparation for covering all the paintwork with Venture Shield!

    Oh, and the kind company whilst doing so. :)
