A pal of mine (well more an acquaintance really) recently bought himself his first ever bike (and I use the term advisedly) after passing his DAS. A Harley Sportster 883. I told him he "probably" didn't make the best choice as he'd not be made REALLY welcome by the sprotbikers OR the hard core Harleyisti. "Not a problem, I'm not into the Harley thing" says he. A month down the line and he's flogged the Sportster 883 and bought himself a fucking Heritage Softail, joined the local Harley "chapter" (or whatever the **** it's called) and now he's dropped the bike and couldn't lift the bugger back up. Obviously a "Motor Company" tat next eh? Anyway, that'll teach him to be a fucking short arse. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Even for someone who's just an acquaintance, surely the decent thing would be to teach him the correct technique for picking the thing up? <thinks> Nah, it's a Harley. Leave it where it is.
My thoughts exactly. Anyway, he's as hard as nails. Actually, let me re-type that.... Anyway, he's a fucking hairdresser. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
