    One quick, great handling motorcycle

    Nobody bought them and they dropped it.

    Something in that for all of us.
    HANG ON A MINUTE HERE... Whats the point in taking the piss, if your just going to be all sensible about it????

    Actually I have ridden a few Harleys, and also tried throwing the wife off the back of one (luckily for her, they're not that fast, or she would have been laying a new patch off road with her ass!) Nonetheless the only one I semi liked is the FATBOY, because A. I felt like a complete wanker on it! and B. I nearly threw the wife off it! and now she wants her own wanker bike!

    All bikes rock, but cruisers rock better!! And at the end of the day it's all down to personal taste.

    I don't think the Motor Company made any two strokes (might well be wrong though). Wasn't that the Aermacchi connection ?

    Harleys cost way too much!

    Hondas ROCK and their riders are polite, consequently everyone else is jealous so they say the 'gay' thing.

    You guys are so lame

    They were in the grab bag for the DKW - but they made their version with grease nipples on the main bearings! Then there was the Topper....oh Jeez,who picked that name out of the hat?

    I love the Topper. I would SO like to have one of those and turn up on it at a H.O.G rally. But it *is* a Harley. See ? But I don't know if the Motor Company made it or if it was a badge job.
