Sigh. It was a joke. Nevertheless, thanks for the little lecture. I’ll discuss what you wrote when I visit my brother and his husband over the Xmas period.
How about an Indian Motorcycle. I think they look all right - just need the footpegs a bit further back, personally. I went in there by chance, they gave me a coffee and I bought a nice T-Shirt ! The cheaper version with basic suspension...
"I think I am ready for Harley Davidson having turned certain age recently”. If you ever see or hear me utter those words you have my full permission to give me both barrels
It was a Thunderbird STorm that got me thinking I needed a cruiser. I test rode one at a Triumph dealer open day about ten years. No intention of buying one, I was just curious, which is what open days are for. I loved it. Grunty, comfortable, wonderful noise, good handling and brakes too. I thought about one when I bought the Harley three years ago but good ones that aren't strting to look long in the tooth are getting harder to find and I had some concerns (perhaps unfounded) about spares supply. Another contender was one of these. I'd still quite like one:
A mate bought an 883 from new, then spent a fortune ‘personalising it’. It was still a bag of shit. I am no Eddie Lawson but ended up refusing to go out with him on it as it was just crap and soooooo slow. Even when I took my classic bikes out it couldn’t keep up. Kin’ useless pieces of tat for wannabee Hells Angels.
I’m sorry you are going through this difficult time in your life, I really am. It’s just a matter of hang tight and these irrational thoughts will pass… if they don’t, sportster S is probably the only acceptable Harley, or get an Indian, which have an engine at least developed this side of the last world war. my thoughts are with you my friend
Just saying, if you want school kids and Porsche boxster/gayman drivers gawping at you get one. Remember they did a model called "iron". Ryming slang for " iron hoof" = poof.
