Harley-Davidson reports record Third Quarter

[Pwalo]

Yeah Pwalo! well some of us LIKE looking like the Village People and cruising around on 'mobile'gynealogical chairs' 'cos we KNOW we are cool, otherwise there wouldn't be so many that want a Harley and so many imitations of Harleys!!

BTW What do you call the riding style when on a sports bike if that's what you call the Harley cruising position?

Yep I thought someone would bite. Just not what I'm used to, and being of slim build/shorter staure not what I find comfortable (especially the chaps).

Sports bike riding position - well that's foetal - so just compliments the cruiser style.

As long as you don't have tassles it's all cool.

Amazing how the majority of people who ride have such bad taste in bikes, you would think they would realise they were buying old style, old technology, poor handling/stopping, overpriced, excessively chromed and overweight bikes that will give them a bad attitude and image,

Yeah,well put Scumdog,we dont want to convert any of these sportbikers....

Sports bike position was described to me as "TDF" and all sports bikes with that position "TDF bikes"

TDF stands for "Two dogs..." yeah I'll let you figure out the rest

PS this isn't my opinion.. just what other family members and cruiser affectionados tell me

Woah!! now you REALLY are putting the boot in (or 'sinking the slipper' as we say down here), you cant go past tassles, the more the better, me & Chrissy-Bimbo (Mrs S.D. to you) have matching tassled jackets and the bike has its share too so eat you heart out sucker!!!!

heh... one of those posts which I really should have had a few more coffees and reviewed what I wrote...

In the harley shop down here I saw a 2 year old bike, completely serviced (so I'd also say well maintained) standing beside a new bike of the same model with eight grand knocked off its price... so I'm basing my thoughts on my observations... granted I haven't been in the market looking for too long.

Eight grand is still a lot of money IMHO to loose over 2 years.. guess I shouldn't go hunting any new jap sports tourers then ;-)

speaking of depreciation seen than ethanol powered single drag bike for sale in chch? that has to be revese depreciation, something that old selling for 39 grand...

I bought my first H-D for $5,500 way back, tidied it up a bit and sold it 9 years later for $6,500, and that was cheap to a mate, could have got more if I wanted, hence I think H-D is a good buy when it comes to depreciation.

Good work! we all like to make a tidy profit
Help pay for the petrol and maintinance... all good

so we should buy cheep, fix them and sell them for more?
sounds like a plan
