    There's a street bob near me that the guy seems to have bought, put under a cover and (literally) not moved for 9 months. Pointless waste

    Yeah I couldn't quite believe it myself. It's probably cost me another 200 in parts, though 100 of that was to replace the stock mufflers after some tosser vandalised them.

    There's some HOG members who buy them just to say.. " I ride a Harley ".. They buy the CVO models and tow them behind their equally expensive RV to the rally's even if they are 50 miles down the road.. Still you get to buy a low mileage example years down the line. Lol
    i picked the silver Fatboy in the picture up on the Wednesday .. 8 miles on the clock and booked it in for its first service the following week..rode it home..plus a quick blast.. Loaded the camping gear on a rode it to the Wallis rally in Stirling the next morning..it poured down a blew a gale for the whole way..couldn't get the smile off my face

    Evening Cool Daddy.. Yes I love riding around the Highlands, the people are great. The roads are fantastic..shame you can't guarantee the weather.. Although I did get a sun tan once.. The Wallis Rally is in Stirling in the grounds of the Rugby ground. it's a Harley Federation club.. Just look up "The Caledonia Harley Club" and you'll find the link.. There is a downside.. Non Harley's by club invitation only. Great Rally though..

    Well all this tech talk has befuddled the brain.... I ride Ian does the tech
    I bought my Harley 883 Sporty in 1998, She was the evo version (1992). Have to say she was the perfect ladies bike.
    I sold her in 2009 and got the same price bar £50 that I paid for her.....result.
    I put loads of very comfy and most enjoyable miles on the clock.
    If my leg and hip had held out I'd still be riding her today

    I miss her
