    I was brought up in the Sportsbike fold, and fed on PB magazines as a whipper, so I've inherited tendencies along those addressed in this thread. I like to think I'm not so short sighted as to totally write the brand off though. The VROD is nice (up to its price), but I suspect that making it appeal to people with a similar mindset to me was one of HDs goals...

    The difference between a Harley rider and other "bike" rider is that a Harley rider don't give a shit what other people ride...

    He's English. Even if he didn't get past Year 2 of Primary School, he's still more literate than most New Zealanders.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If you prefer other brands then more power to you - different strokes for different folks I guess.

    And one day when I get the XN85 (Help Dangerous!) going I will see how well tassles go with it!!
    Too true Scum. I have it on good authority it's not the size of a man's dick that counts but the horsepower in the baggage beside it.

    Now THERE'S a mouthful - as the schoolboy said to the actress.

    But yeah, my motto is: "It's not the ride - it's the man astride". (that counts)

    you can't have a motto with a qualifier in brackets - it has to be a rallying call and a call to arms - not finished off with an aside or an afterthought.

    Yer roman legions never said - 'give me honour or give me death' (if it's not too much trouble)

    back to the thesauraus for you mate.

    Weeeeel fuuuuck youuuu! (kidding - and it's Not a qualifier)
    So take my qualifier off!!
    It was more of a 'clarifier' for those that needed an explanation.

    But I thought it was a pretty good motto.

    And again - back to my duty-free whiskey.

    you said you had trouble dealing with 4 carbs on your Kat, you'll shit bricks with 4 injectors & a turbo system

    SD must have blind faith or he hasn't kept up with your Kat thread

    I'm used to dealing with injectors... only problem I had with the Kat was getting the bloody carbs out, damn near neded to strip the hole bike.
    The XN is pretty much reasembled, injection looks after its self.
    Bring it on SD
