    Harley not good enough???

    I came across the attached photo on the 'net this afternoon.

    Have a close look at the partially concealed bike under the throw with the Harley logo. What sort of Harley is that? Doesn't look like the normal Harley V configuration... .

    But wait, that's not a Harley.....

    No, it couldn't be could it - but it is...

    ...a Yamaha Virago!!!!!

    That's a bit cheeky innit! 'specially if it's an advertising promo scene/poster, having a Hardley throw draped over the Mighty? Virago...O well, they are lookalikes from a distance I spose!

    ya know what is really funny...they had these bikes minus the tankwork in the warehouse recently.
    I was so missing my old bike I was VERY tempted to get one
    but the $200 was a little steep, be a very cool thing to have at home tho! sitting next the Buell

    A bit scarery really isn't it? I guess when they remove the stick- on tats, wigs and peel of the spray on stubble they're just normal folk underneath

    He probably throws the Chev blanket over his Nissan and his Ford one over his Mazda.
