That said, a few years back, I met a guy rode a Big Dog chopper from LA to Sturgis over 2 1/2 days - he broke down at the WalMart parking lot in Barstow where I first met him; got back on the road after fixing his wiring problem, and we leapfrogged each other over most of the next day; my V8's gas consumption was much worse and is, but he had a smaller tank. And his bike was a hardtail... Many bikes accused of being Trailer Queens have never been trailered.
Rare in NZ - probably around 20 brought in new. That's the continental version which differs in minor detail from what we got here.
I've just sold the TR1 motor I've had sitting for about 15 years. Never going to build what i wanted around it now.
Not awesome bikes, but could have been so much better....Overpriced, yes.
There is no shortage of sympathetic inspectors to give warrants to these. My neighbour works occasionally at the testing station and when he is the only bike-friendly insp on duty he cuts them off before they can spend their money on the wof and tells them he will not give them a warrant based on their exhaust. I spose they go to a bike shop to get them?

I've had to warrant a couple of these things. They're a nightmare to ride (apparently only until you learn the technique) but someone has seen fit to certify them for use on our roads. So if everything works as the certification demands, who am I to say it can't have a warrant?
