ahem, yes I'd have to agree with you. Had bf many years ago who was heavily into Elvis. Never could see the attraction to be honest. But as I have aged, he is getting more to my taste.. yummm

It's funny, my kids know the words to a few Elvis songs and are intrigued that he was hot when Grandma was a girl. They know the songs but dont have the cultural context to place them in. He was a bit subversive for his day for sure.

Oi Croc! whatsA wong wiv dat for an idea, I'd use it, once I'd given it the once over. Damn cleve idea really, eliminates another round thingy at the rear, can't be a bad thing.

**Bikemad** · 17th March 2010, 14:34

yeah i reckon its quite trick lookin myself caseye............

I can't get past chain oil on the disc. Looks purty enough but no oil will result in very short chain & sprocket/disc life. Whereas oiling the chain will almost certainly result in oil on the pads and no back brakes. Least that's the way I see it.

Not the most practicle idea, Be ok for the American chopper crowd that transport the "Bike" in a truck and ride it around the corner looking oh so "Cool"

Shafts are best, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper, less maintenance and less cleaning... unless you're wanting to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your bike, but if you were that way inclined you wouldn't be riding a Harley in the first place.
